Car is only 1 year old but the trim gel made a drastic difference

Nice detail...

Well, I`d have to say a fine job for your 1st post!

It looks a heckuva lot better than it did when it showed up!

I have a severe unexplained dislike for mustangs(especially late model) so I will try not to hold that against you in future posts?! :)

[jballon]

Thanks Dean, appreciate it!!

And Im curious, if you aren`t a Mustang guy, what kind of cars are you into?

[DeanSweet]

I`m a Honda guy... Cars, motorcycles, pressure washer(s), generator, push mower... If I had the spare $ I`d own a Honda compact lawn tractor too?! I just like smaller cars in general and see way too many mustangs on the roadways?!
