Nothing fancy. Car had some scuffs from the cover it was under over the winter. Ice sat on some spots and it was very windy and just moved it around I guess.



PC`d with Meguiar`s speedglaze #80 and their Gold Class liquid wax.

If anyone knows what can properly clean the flat black paint I have on the hood & spoiler let me know. I`ve searched a few times and can never find something.



So far I`ve noticed that Stoner`s Invisible Glass and an Absorber gets rid of the water spots. But when I tape it off the tape leaves a little marking that doesn`t come off.

The car has a hard enough time moving it`s current weight around. Plus, they`d just get ruined on the roads around here.



Thanks for the compliment. I loved the color when I saw it.

Maybe not a car I would get for myself, but the paint looks great.. Looks like you got the Ford Cougar(Euro version) headlights.. You are right.. bigger wheels are not always better, like lowering the suspension. That usually just gives you an uncomfortable ride and makes your car slower and thirstier..

Wheels look perfect to me.



Not a Cougar fan but yours looks very nice.

Car is love or hate with people. Apart from the full exhaust and intake all the money is in a nice suspension setup which is really the cars strong point anyway. On a curvy road she`s a blast to drive and the MSDS headers/y-pipe w/Borla exhaust and K&N intake give it a clean, sporty sound.



I do what I can w/the paint. I got sideswiped by an 18-wheeler last year and had the shop fix a bunch of other dents in the car before repainting the whole thing (I prepped to save some $$). Only when you`re sitting 8" from it and detailing it do you really see how thin they went on the paint. Hell, I can even see where body filler wasn`t fully sanded down through it in one spot. Can`t complain for a 10yr old daily driver with 115k on it.
