Pipes look in pretty good shape after all those years in ny

That's stainless steel for ya

That truly looks amazing.  The tuxdeo black really pops....for about 30 mins until it is covered in dust and pollen!  Story of my life.  Grrr.......
I ceramic coated mine and literally three weeks later on a drive to CA I ran into a terrible dust storm that did a number on the ceramic coating.  I went home and fixed the troubled spots and re-topped the coating.  Then a month later, another sand storm.  After that my ceramic coating started failing....however it did its job.

So pulled off all of the trim and removed the lights, and literally re-paint corrected the whole damn car.  This time I chose to use "The Last Coat" as you can use it as a quick detailer too, and the literally everything wipes off the car now as well.  It is truly remarkable.   

Also if you are looking for some cool badges this is the place that I purchase all of my overlays from.  They do amazing work.

Thanks for the kind words, proper detailing is a lot of time-consuming labor but the results speak for themselves.  I have a friend who's an authorized Optimum detailer and he hooked me up with some OptiCoat Primer Polish.  It's a dual action polish, strips all of any old oils/gunk left from any non Optimum product and does minor paint correction as well.  I used a plastic scraper very lightly to help remove the double sided tape left behind from the emblem and still managed to get some light scratches in the clear.  Used my trusty M105 to buff them out and the OCPP removed the slight hazing the 105 left behind.

I really like the side effects of the ceramic, we live in South Texas on the coast and have water w/in a half mile of the house on 2 sides.  Sand, dust, salty air, pollen and a host of other contaminates bombard our cars every day but the MKS could have a couple of weeks of this build up on it and a good strong rain on the car while it's sitting in the driveway leaves the car at damn near recently washed status.  I can't imagine what you went through with those storms.  In the next couple of days if the weather cooperates I'm going to clean the car then do a quick photoshoot.  I'll post it up somewhere on this site when I'm finished.

Excellent detailing skills!  Very well done

Added some trim lock to the edge of my splitter.  Cleans up the edge cuts quite nicely and protects!  Had to special order it to cover 1/4 abs plastic. 

Dropped the car off for an alignment last night.  Hopefully done today or tomorrow.  The shop was kind enough to fit it in over the next couple days if I could leave it.

That splitter looks amazing....so when are you going to start on my mine?  I also like the grill delete, your car looks tough as eff.

While you are working on his, could you whip one up for the MKS as well?

I think he is following my way of work. Less sleep, more ambition.

Going to weld together an exhaust set up for the strip. I've had some down turns for right off the downpipes, but they need to be welded together so they don't flop about... Lol want to see how loud it is to drive on the highway because I'm going to the drag strip max effort on the 19th and don't want to have to take the exhaust off there. Hahahah

[802SHO]

Heck yeah let's see an 11.4!!

Id much rather be making splitters for everyone than hanging and taping drywall! 

The front chin spoiler from Xtreme Dimensions made mounting the splitter very easy as its flat across the bottom.  The stock lower bumper piece or "lower cladding" is curved on the bottom and inward in the middle.  Not impossible but more thought would need to go into eliminating the gap.  Probably some cut to fit pieces of abs plastic and some trim lock to hide the cuts could block it off and then the splitter will deflect air.  A chassis splitter would be ideal. 

Below pic for reference as the gap created by the stock lower cladding with the splitter template.  Air hockey piece holding it up.

Lol... Lot of little things add up. If the only factor is time I'm willing to do it. May not have a big budget but I'm willing to spare there time!

Finally hit Torrie up for an E30 for my Flex. Can't wait to try it out, I know it makes a huge difference for my ST
