Well after finding a Honda symbol on my salt infested car i figured it was time for a wash. After the was i realized she had no wax left on her at all.
anyways here are a couple of pics. Sides still need to to properly put on, some paint on the front and rear bumper trim if you can call it that. And throw the summers on.

Clay bar the entire thing, then do a deep buff and it'll look great!

spent two and half hours on it today, wash, wax, interior. Was just quick, she had no wax on her after the winter so she needed something.

uh the pics make it look great. I need to do a lot of work to it. I want to ditch the hood first off, maybe i'll just paint it. Rest of the car needs a bit of work here and there, so i'll probably try and think of some sort of paint theme i can do with. Maybe a flat red?probably wouldn't look that good tho.

ah i got ya is that hood carbon fiber? if the fitment was nice id just have it recleared and flat red would look good tho i like flat maroon even better, but i feel like your paint job is pretty nice tho i can only tell so much from the pics, im goin flat/matte black on mine as soon as the weather warms up enough to paint.
i wet sanded most of the car last summer when i got it, removed all the scratches. Yes the hood is carbon fiber hood. I like the weight just not the look, the car is a daily driver. I just want it to look clean and stockish, but lowered of course haha

Im keeping the skirts black, going to paint the front and rear bumper trim black as well. As for the hood i may or may not get it painted. I'd rather put the money into the camaro fund.
