Nice shots, Jerry, but did you ask Chris permission to post these? He might've wanted to keep it on the DL to show off later.

No but I know Chris personally and there are no surprises here. Its just getting patched up, getting some damages repaired. Nothing new, nothing to unveil, nothing to spoil

I'm just getting the car cleaned up. Repainting/repairing the whole front end because it's gotten busted up driving it daily. I'm also getting the trunk holes filled in. I want my car to look as good as it does in pictures and up to my standards.

This is why I got a new bumper..



It's like that on the other side too.

Chris' car has always looked good, shine kit or not...car is hot.

on another note, not the way I would spread filler...more chanced of having air pockets/pin holes.
