IMO I would go for it as far as painting the calipers RED they will compliment your tail lights.

Why would they cut the clear coat? lol

I read stories how people go for a detail and their cars comes up with Rust showing? is that true?

cutting the clear coat gets deep swirl marks out and makes ur surface like new, idk bout that maybe if they have chips down to the metal?

thanks guys! Well the cut and polish took about 6 hours according to what my bodyshop did, They had it for about 12 hours total. They washed it and cut,polished,and wax pretty much a whole complete detail and it made a huge difference from before. I got a lot of compliments over the weekend, People could not believe the year when I told them, the all thought it was a 05 or 06 lol maybe I should just say that from now on, lol

No man, in my opinions if you want some fog lamp

You should go with New WALD or BRABUS

man, you paid over 1 g for it? i think i sold my compete wald kit including rear spoiler too cheap on craigslist. i sold it to a guy in san jose for 300.00. i should have held out for more $$$. your car looks good. i would have installed my kit but it wouldnt have cleared my driveway as it i steep

Dino I scratch?? there is no scratch?


angelglo: Hey! I was the one who called to late for your kit, you told me you sold it, I actually talked to the person that had bought the kit it did not look in that good condition. He bought it and resold it to someone in the east bay. I got mine from someone who was parting out their car. and kit was in good condition when I got it with a couple of small scrapes in the front. I am assuming you still have your car?

Sorry, I misinterpreted the white roof line of that house, which is reflected on your car next to your tail light (not the large one, though) as a scratch. Sorry.
