Default My first real post-up here - New Orleans Scrap

Currently I'm on stock body with the aero in my shed safely, I have new wheels coming in, Fabulous Profounds . I am looking to completely refinish the polished lips. It will be my first time doing so, I have been looking at various DIY's of grinding down curbrash and re-polishing polished wheels. I've never done such a thing, but I think it shouldn't be too hard with some elbow grease and patience.

Here is my car about 2 months ago,
CanIBeat did a full feature on my IS300, it's come along way and this feature kind of proved it to me!
Here is the full feature:
Katrina Torn – Canibeat

Now some other pictures not in the feature.

I saw this car on for sale a while ago...
Are you original owner or you bought this car?
If original, why did you decide to keep it?

I am the original owner, I'm 18 years old and did everything from the day it was stock. I was going to sell because I had a baby 2 weeks ago and insurance was killing me. I talked to my insurance co. and asked for rates on other cars and they were all about the same maybe 10-15$ less for the other cars I was looking at, but that 10-15$ is deff. worth keeping my IS. They also told me the day I hit 19, it will drop pretty well, so I kept it

thanks guys

It'll drop further more once you hit 25.
Congrats on the baby! Boy or girl?

Haha thanks man I got a guy that does it down here, I'm looking to do it myself anyway by hand, I've been wanting to learn how and these wheels are giving me the opportunity to do so
