You can see the front valence under the front bumper. Nothing I could do would help it out, but it gives you an idea of before...

very nice. Nice knowledge of the megs lineup! hehe

[audicoupej]

Wow! A lot of well detailed cars!

All look great. I love the black C6's! The Bimmer looks awesome. Red is great for before and afters!

[paul34]

great results... unfortunately it looks like the owner of the BMW will now have to get a new hood ornament, to come up to the "leve" of the rest of the car!

[Scottwax]

Excellent job on all of them but the BMW and first Corvette are most impressive! Both look so much better than before it is as if you replaced them with different cars!

I hope you gave that 'Vette owner a bill to give to the dealer for reimbursement. You'd have to be a complete moron to park a new Corvette near sprinklers.

[warthog]

Both of those vettes look great. I bet you had some very happy owners.
