Thanks Steve!







Thank you.. I am in Auburn Hills but am Mobile.. Where are you located?



I'm just east of Grand Rapids. Maybe I'll have you do some work on my X5 when I'm over in your area! (I visit Troy every once in a while for the Somerset Collection)
 
Great correction work, those direct sun shots are incredible! BTW try the Eshine APC on wheels 4:1, it works wonders!:xyxthumbs
