Very nice. 2-tone brown? That is a very clean front end BTW. Mine is all beat from rocks even right after I got it painted.

I think the car is "Maroon"? Picture is just deceiving will all the reflection :-D

the discrepancies you see in the bumper are bugs :-\ (not chips thankfully)

The trick is to have someone side swipe you pulling out of a parking spot and get a free bumper repaint.... Thats why mine looks good. haha. (had it repainted at the dealership courtesy of the lady that hit me)

I gotta drive down to chicago tomorrow to help my friend with something. I hope she stays remotely shiny from the drive.... I will take pics sat night. I need to get to a nice tall parking garage with an open roof.

So you bought the fogs new from the dealer? How much did you pay? I really need new ones. :[ Your car looks beautiful, BTW.

I didn't get the fog lights from the dealer. Actually (haha) i had my mom pick them up at the auto store on the way home from work and they just popped right in. Thanks for the kind words. Here's a write up i did on detailing.

I was posting as D_Train

edit: I remember the fog lights being cheap. Not more than $15 a piece

I don't mean to sound like the picky bastard here, but why not hit those bugs up with some bug/tar remover and special sponge before washing and spending a long time detailing and waxing?
Or, did the bugs actually leave "pits" in the paint ?
Don't get me wrong.....very clean.....but the bumper bugs DO stand out bro !!

Oh I did. I just detailed it at my friends house and took the freeway home. It was about a 10 mile drive and so i took out my fair share of bugs on the way. They are not deep in there, just very recent after detailing. Haha
