Default Updated pics of my 96' LS400

well, its been a month since i bought my LS400 and just thought i'd share some updated pics.

Whats been done so far:
-Gold stripping taken off
-Removed tow hitch
-Clear corners
-Nice wax and polish

To be honest, i thought lexus' white was sort of a creamish white until i waxed and polished it... IT IS SO WHITE NOW!!

It was really sunny yesterday when i took these pics so you cant really see the reflection off the paint/body.

here are the pics

BEFORE




AFTER

Looks great! The clear corners make it look a lot whiter too.

Keep it up man!

blow dryer and an old credit card.. i didnt mind the small scratches caused from scraping it off because the car is white and the scratches will buff out

took a good hour tho =X
