very nice! I found that it works the best if you apply it first with a buffing wheel and then go at it by hand for final polishing. For the black trim, just apply by hand.

Yep, got some wheels in. I figured that I'd start out with something reasonably cheap and work up from there. 17x10 w/275/40/17 in the rear and 17x9 w/235/45/17 in the front. (yeah, I know, shitty pictures.)

dammmm that thing looks MINTTT compared to what it was. You own a body shop or something man cuz that work is AMAZING. How much did doing all that stuff cost you in terms of materials?

Man, I thought my taillights were clean but I got nothing on you. Excellent build!

I'm going to get some of that polish today!

that's quite the ride height you have there ;)

I figure the engine and interior should be able to take care of that...otherwise, I can still take it down another 1"

To get the body done it cost $5k (paint, labor, etc) plus ~$1200 for replacement body panels (hatch, rear quarters, rear fender wells)
