Will wax mostly today and look over the paint good and do some touch up on small spots.
Thursday the car goes into my landlord's body shop for the front/rear bumper and most likely the hood. This car sat outside for a few months with the dealer in the Houston area. There are water spots that will just not come out at all. Ive done a nice clay of the whole car just this past fall and that made a huge difference in the feel of the paint.

Black paint is also a total bee otch!
This car only has 7k miles on it and the paint should be a lot better. Doesnt help that Im OCD about cars either
Did you try getting a proper random orbital rotary polish done on it?

Happy that will be part of the deal this coming 2 weeks with the car at the body shop. Actually the front/rear quarters and doors are ok.

The top is not bad but I can live with it. The hood is a loser as are the front and rear bumpers. I will keep you posted.

Interesting! Must just be deceiving haha. I have no desire to run anything other than stock size. But from the picture that sidewall looks different than stock.

As I don't drive my car everyday I'm so tempted to lower it... But I'm just concerned because at stock height I scrape going in and out of my fiance's driveway.. and if I'm lower I'll probably scrape coming out of mine considering I'm just barely clearing it lol

I scrape only on those factory wind deflectors infront of the front tires. I do come in at an angle though.

Just bought the new twin super charger kit from GTM (TSC). I wish. LOL. That baby is bada$$. It's so nice to see a company put out quality product one after another.

totally agree man, GTM never stops being an amazing company.

@fire: I should fix my post to say that I've never actually scraped my car itself. Just the chin spoiler (on rare occasion) and the wind deflectors. I'm just not sure what's going to start happening if my car is lower. If those same parts are the only thing that scrape then I don't care, but if I start getting body damage I'll be an emotional wreck.

As said I don't scrape with my stillen spoiler. I have Eibach lowering springs. You must have a really terrible approach angle to be scraping at stock height. I have wheel spacers also.
