This is a 2007 GPW S2k. The customer came to me with a beautifly clean car, just had a few swirls..so I thought ok easy job..ehh...Ended up having to use SIP/PFW to cut enough to get all of the swirling out of the car. I followed with PO5rd and the results were fantastic! The car absolutely GLOWS!

just a side story, the car is outfitted with full CR suspension upgrades and 225/255 REO50A's and I was able to take it for a spin after we were finished!

I must say I am absolutely IMPRESSED!! I may be going to CR suspension route over coilovers..

Anyways onto the pictures!!

car looks awesome. i believe the cr setup blew out lots of the aftermarket competitors out of the water. i think the only ones that were as good if not better are the kv coils, i think toda, and maybe one more. but again car looks amazing. great job!

Thanks! I spent about 15 hours on it. I spent alot of time finding which polish to use. I figured a light polish would do but I ended up going with SIP/PFW to get all the swirls out. Hondas amaze me, they take that much to correct, yet if you touch it wrong it swirls!
