    Now im just waiting on ccfl headlights, and led tails, and switchbacks....


    Pics are in order






    My Tools (First clay barred with mothers clay bar the covered scratches and swirls with Meguire's swirl x and ultimate compound before waxing)











    Detailers Tools in my...

    looking real good.... I'm gonna try to detail mine here sooner or later. What color is that? it looks silver in half the pics and almost bronzemist in the others.. and it looks to have a ton of pearl in it? was it painted?
