I haven't posted pics of my car in just over 2 years. I haven't even taken pictures in 2 years. So here is an update and some new pictures.
I spent 3 and a half hours cleaning the car. Washed it, clay bared, rubbing compounded all the scratches, swirl remover then wax. The results were incredible. The shine is intense and I still can't believe that the paint had it in it to look that good!
As for updates, I did the headliner black (which you can barley see in the pictures) took off my projectors and made my own tails.
On with the pics:
With a different shutter speed on the camera to obsorb more light:
A close-up of the paint:
And here is my other ride. I don't relly drive my car much other then in the rain because of it:
And I had to have at least one with me in it:
Let me know what you think.
The only plans are re-tinting the windows with 5%, had to take the fronts off to get the car saftied. I will probably end up selling the car soon, within the next year most likely to make room for something bigger and nicer.
Thanks for looking!

Looks great. Always loved the car. Totally understand the bike though, have one myself.
me likey a lot
i have always loved your car
coulda waited all you want cuz all u did was destroy that car.. coulda gone forever without seeing it..
lmao j/k
Looks great, i thought maybe ur cam was off cuz the color looked weird then i saw the close up that it wasnt regular bright red.. Dont mind the decals either
question tho, did u paint the inner mouth of the front bumper black? also, what happened to ur back bumper/ have a lil mishap? lol
and dont think u can hide the fact u have chrome tails.. u cant trick me with that fancy red tinting them
but they look good
Nice bike too!
o and is it me or are the bumper lenses still taped up?
sorry im picking on alot of things but im just starin at the pics and seein these things lol

I love it Matt...And in person...that paint is incredible!!!
I never knew you got a bike now too...no Audi TT?
ive always looked at your sig and thought the car looked nice. I love the car, its alot nicer that I thought. like you, i was amazed how these car cleaning products can bring out a whole new look to the car's shine.
I've always like your car man. I think this is the first time I've seen really good pictures of the paint though.

Sweet car man, Where did you get the seat covers from?
I absolutely love your car. The color, stance, wheels, inside, outside. Just mint bro. Good job.

Thanks for all the wicked comments everyone!!! Glad to see all the positive feedback even after this long.
Manta Z: thanks! and ya I had a little mishap with the back bumper, its actually a lot worse then it looks to be honest. If I keep the car I'll re-paint if not the stock rear will probably go on. Teh bumper lights are taped, goign to paint them soon, jsut wanted to make sure they'd look good black first.
Vince: No TT unfortunatly, it was either a bike or a new car, I chose bike. Hopefully a new car will be comming soon.
TheInfamousEco and ShadowZ24: Ya they're Sunfire seat covers from GM. No one really notices what they say on em, just that theyre nice and match the car.
WHITECAVY: You knwo I've always been a fan of yours, especially the kit!
Zach Hilton: Thanks bro, if mine was white, it woudl look something like yours but with my rear. Looking good too

Oh I know they are sunfire seats from GM lol. Check either of the links on my sig and you will see I have the same exact seats. They are truly amazing, they flow so nicely with the car, not too mention the quality of the upholstery. I love mine, and I think you made a good choice on getting them for your car. Mine said "sunfire" just like yours, but I had custom chevy emblems made to go over the writing and make the seats match the car. They cost me about $150 and took 3 weeks to get........j/k. I went down to Advanced Auto and bought some red chevy bowtie stickers, then stuck them on black spray painted bowties made of cardboard. Finally I superglued them to the seats. To my surprise they have stood the abuse of passengers without any wear, and the emblems flow with the car so well that no one has ever figured out they were a $5 fix. Everyone says "I thought they came like that" when I tell them. You should give it a try.
love it except for the graphic, im not feeling that one, did you just rip off the material on the armrests and then fg them or what? Whatever you did i love it more then recovering them with fabric or vinyl, great work
Mat, everything looks great! I really like those tails. I bought a can of red tint spray off eBay a month or so ago to paint my chrome altezzas, but I've been holding off because the cap almost has a pinkish red color to it.
Where did you get your red tint spray & what brand is it? Is it that Lens' Painter brand that most people on eBay are selling? The color on your tails is the exact red color that I'm looking for, but I'm going to be painting some areas on them body color so they won't be completely red.
Looking good as always, bro!!
wow! your sig doesnt do your car justice at all! it looks great.
oh and nice helmet that looks alot like mine
