Sorry about the after pics, but the car is dirty as sin right now. Anyway, here you go.

Now, couple of things to clean up the car. That quarterpanel repair I had previously mentioned, well, they simply masked the bump stop. Looks like crap right now, but soon to be fixed. And sadly, on the driver side of things, no paint work, but under all three pieces of bump stop that came off there was some surface pitting in the paint. You can't even feel it with your fingernail, but you can see it. I'm hoping a cutting compound takes care of it, but we'll see.

So what do you all think??? Next up is tint and 18's in black.

for the pitting in the paint, try wet sanding with 2000 grit then buffing with a strong agent with a wool pad then with a mild agent with a foam pad. That's what we do with stuff like that where I work and on pitted clearcoat and acid stains and scratches and lotsa stuff like that it takes them right out.

*EDIT* and yeah, the car looks good biggrin.gif
