That's a great job on the car. Your pics doesn't do your work justice! A tripod will help a lot.

LOL. That's whatever was left over from the previous owner and winter. If you think that was bad, here's a pic of some clay after doing the passenger side of my mother-in-laws car....



Ah and my wheels are just Rotas. The previous owner really borked up the stock BBS wheels and the tires were shot. A guy was selling the Rotas with brand new tires for cheap so I bought them. I'm eventually getting Works or Advans.

Re: 05 STi Correction

Excellent work, you can really see the clarity restored after polishing on the trunk/badge area.

Nice job... looks super black now!

Re: 05 STi Correction

beautiful car - i've always loved those babies. great work and i'm surprised at the extreme contamination - always makes it e-z to see who isn't keep their car waxed as often as they should..

Re: 05 STi Correction

Excellent work on a nice motor!

Did you find the paint to be quite soft?
