Thank you sir!

Also I desperately need to find a good detailing shop in Los Angeles/Valley area, because when I wash my car and park it in the sun, the swirl marks makes me sick and I want to trow up.

Looking good! Now replace the star.

porter cable
menzerna polishes and sealants

Check out the detailing section of the forum - sponsors always having sales on products. . .

trust me - black car - have to have your own kit - first time out is going to take 12-16 hours - after that about 4-6. If the swirls drive you nuts, it's the only way to go. . .

It's a DISEASE.. One you start, you can't STOP!! LOL

How about a CF front lip ? If you want one, I have a new one from JBSpeed for sale, never installed. $120 Local pick up.

^This. I have a PC and a Flex. Love Menzerna polishes. Use a sealant like black diamond and a wax it will prolong the pretty.

Curious about the flex - I've done the full detail about 7 times now (also use the PC to apply the wax). . .feeling confident that I have enough time in now not to burn the paint - would only use it for deep scratches on a spot basis - what's your recommendation - stick with the PC or is having the flex worth it?

Nice job on the grille. You have more nerve than I parking right up next to people, but I guess in L.A. you really have no choice. Just have to pray that people respect your doors. They don't here in Atl. !!!
Can't wait to see more of your mods.

looks meaner. . I like it.
You should consider getting a flat hood emblem like mentioned before

JlredMB

Who's "flat badge" did you go with?

motorkas

I personally prefer the "gunsight" and rock mine daily; the good thing about the flat emblems is that switching back and forth is about a 1 minute affair. . .

kyastas

You think this is the right choice?

kyastas

I feel you... Normally I don't park that close to other cars, but here is at my office parking lot so I don't think that anybody will have enough ***** not to be careful around the beast

kyastas

This is how she looked the day I got her

kyastas

I'm not 100% sold on flat badge yet, first maybe I'll paint it black.

kyastas

Agree 100%. When I got her I thought to my self this very beautiful car, very strong and fast car...... And then I started to come here to the forum more often. First it was once in couple days, then once a day, then couple times a day, then sometimes the whole day and now anytime I have a chance ....... And guess what.... I don't have no more keeping it stock
One day I will make her the panty dropa like many of you already did Without you guys probably it would be easier to get over this disease, but I don't think It would be healthy

Flat badge with black grille.

You see, the problem is I like it both ways So I really don't know. What is the main reason to take the star out and put a flat?
