    Before pictures, the paint correction process was go over everything with SIP and orange then everything again with 106FF in white. The trunk was had a clear bra over the entire thing so I just went over that once with 106FF on black. Yes, this did take forever, and black... is awesome :D

    There are no before pictures since it was pretty clean anyway. Let's just start with the heavy stuff!

    Sorry, but I forgot to tell him to take some pictures of the rear too. Enjoy!

    edit: I apologize for the marks on the thread that do some advertising. I will take them out, but they are the only pictures I have that show the entire car. If they bother any of the admins, i will remove them ASAP.

    Awesome car, too much sea green on the mirrors though. They should be black with a stripe down the middle horizonatally. Awesome work as well, looks awesome.

    yeah he is quite popular on those forums

    thanks! that's a combination of a proper detail and a good photographer!

    haha that's too much green. i think he wanted just enough green to be crazy, but he also wants the flexibility of switching to another color theme

    the mirrors look a little better in person imo, but yeah, it really gets a lot of people to just go ehhhh

    thanks nica!

    haha that's what the owner was like

    yeah!

    thanks man!

    thanks!

    yeah, black is my new favorite color to detail. it lets me see everything i'm doing so it's great!

    yeah e90post ftw!

    that could be a pretty powerful car too!
