Your car looks awsome BTW. Have you ever considered putting some red pinstriping around your wheels?
I think that would set it off nicely.

looks nice!

get a flex polisher and then hit it with some Menzerna Polishes and you will basically wet your pants. Takes a few hours but it will make it look out of this world good.

Thanks gentsYeah I gave it some thought but, I like the pure stealth look

I used this product from Meguiars...$20 Kit includes: two 50 gram clay bars, individually wrapped & in a moisture-seal case, Quik Detailer for use as a clay lubricant, Cleaner Wax sample & Meguiar’s Supreme Shine Microfiber Towel.

Stealth,As soon as I saw this car once I joined this site, it reminded me of a F117 Nighthawk except with much better sculpted lines. I knew this thing would make the ultimate evil, stealth-bomber look. With those tinted lights (i thought tinted the tails alone would give it the awards) but you're going above and beyond by doing all lights. Here is one thing, if Batman ever lost the tumbler, he can use this for it's replacement as this looks much much better but still provides a lot of "thrust" and gives off the "Don't even try messing with me or you'll be eaten for a snack" theme. Props for having a one of a kind SL bro.

"A black hole is often defined as an object whose escape velocity exceeds the speed of light. It is a region of space in which the gravitational field is so powerful that nothing, including light, can escape its pull. The black hole has a one-way surface, called the event horizon, into which objects can fall, but out of which nothing can come out. It is called "black" because it absorbs all the light that hits it, reflecting nothing."

Your car is a MF'n Black Hole MF'er... You are the Prime Sinister of the Event Horizon....
