Looks good, sideeffect. I like that action shot.

I just got my car washed, clayed, polished, waxed, black wow'd yesterday. There is no orange peel left in my finish. I've never used a porter-cable buffer on it, this is all elbow grease.

I wish my steel rims had a clear coat.

I probably used too much black wow, but this trim was pretty much gray and white. I used a similar amount on one piece of trim as a test when I bought black wow. That trim lost it's shine in time and looked brilliant, all matt and water repellent.

Steel rims are my normal rims. That's premium summer rubber on there (best tire for 195/60/15 size). I used holies last winter.

Well, I'm new here, but I really like the color.

Here is a pic of my previously-enjoyed 02 MCS. Picked it up last weekend.

I did the black out treatment to my mini a few weeks ago. I think it looks MUCH better!

All these pics are hot!! I love the Electric Blue on the MINI, I'm gonna cry when mine won't go anymore :( I'll post sum pics up in a few weeks of mine, I'm getting it lowered and some black Kosei's on it, My BF's roomie knows a guy who does powder coating, so I think I may have him powder coat my grille and the chrome on my exterior (who ever loved my car before me loved the chrome!...it's everywhere!)
