Finished the first step of my paint correction/sealing. the paint was in worse shape than i thought. there are several deeper scratches that will likely require some wet sanding to level out the paint. and thats a bit beyond my expertise and comfort zone. i'm pretty happy with the initial results. i used Meg's D300 Correction Compound with a microfiber pad and Harbor Freight DA polisher. its soooo much better than the old M105 that i've used in the past. no dusting and removal is a breeze. i'll likely jewel it out with some M205 and then seal it with some CQuartz. and then i can start modding. 50/50 shot after a quick pass. you can still see a deeper scratch on the right side, unfortunately. Finished side shot... Saw this park the other day and just HAD to get a shot in it before the the leaves were gone

its easy once you get the tools and know which product works with what application. just mad time-consuming. i just got tired of putting carnauba wax on top of swirled-*** paint, a few years ago, so i learned. the forums at autogeekonline.net are an awesome place to get an understanding of whats what. youtube, too. then its trial an error.
funny thing is...i paid someone to do my wife's, last week. a lot easier since her car is brand new.
hahahahahaa
THATS the drop im looking for!!! its perfect. EvoKLASS, right?
yup, but I heard they’re completely sold out. It’s just the coilover sleeve kit and rear links so KW will work. I can slam this thing to the ground if I wanted. Once wheels come in it will get lower.
Finally finished getting the paint right. Polished and sealed it, last night, and of course its misty today. I'm running outside every half hour to wipe it down to make sure the water doesnt etch as CQuartz recommends no exposure to water for 12-24 hrs. Came out pretty well, tho.
Looks great! Get a plate though so the cops don't tread
thanx!!! im very happy with the way it came out. the swirls were really bothering me. im ready to get some carbon bits, now.
and yeah...i am going to get a plate, next week. i've been tempting fate and its just a matter of time. i even drove it...swiftly...to Charlotte, the week i got it, without one. just cant decide on what i want the tag to say. any suggestions?
Beautiful car. Is that 692whp on stock turbos? From my experience stock turbos on this car is maxed out at 640whp with stage 2 setup (tune and catless downpipes)
