What a monster and what a turnaround, definitely top 10 best of the year Phil!

 

That is such an amazing car... Great stuff!

 

Great job! Mirror finish in the end!

The customer must have a huge grin on his face each time he see it.

 

Thats a awesome breast

 

Breast or beast?

Excellent work correcting that paint!

Btw, do you blow dry or use a WW MF? (Just seeing what the pros do )

 

Impressive turnaround phil. I love cayenne turbos, but I personally think that thing is UGLY.

 

sorry turkey day is near....

 

Excellent job guys. I would have been embarrassed to be the owner driving it around in that condition.

 

Great job Phil, Magnum TA kit is "Mucho bucks" nice to see a full program car looking it's best!!.

 

Lovely work, Phil! This thing got some POWER!

 

Bloody awesome

 

Looks amazing that it was horrible before its like a whole new ride now.

 

Many congrats Phil and for your team!

 

Phil....great job as usually. That is a great looking vehicle. Love the stance.

Great work.

 

Great work!

 

That's one serious difference on your 50/50's Phil. Awesome job as usual.

 

Hi Phil,
Incredible job.
How do you like the Shield?
Joe D.

 

definitely one of the top 10, i agree.

That car looks like such a beast. And i love the body kit.

 

thanks guys!

the shield is great its got great durability and is super easy to use just like the rest of the SV line.

Figured I would bring it back out for the winter months.

This is a daily driven car and it unfortunately sits next to a cement factory all day long....

So don't hate on the owner at least he has the balls to drive it as a daily LOL His other cars are super minty.
