Looking too good not to post a couple pictures. All waxed up for the winter!

Looks just like mine, sans the chrome wheels. I have to get me some of them.

Great job!

I like them too. Did you add those or did they come on the car when you bought it?

Nice job with the waxing, looks magnificent.

I added the exhaust tips. The stock ones were starting to oxidize to the point where I couldn't clean them and were a little small in my opinion. The new ones are from a 08-12 Accord. They fill the bumper gap much better!

I use all Griots Garage products. Did a full clay bar/polish/wax. Took 4 hours to do but well worth the results. Do this about 3 or 4 times a year to keep it looking new. Granted I started with a one owner car that had been garaged since new haha but the quality of these cars paint jobs is incredible

Nice job! Looks like a brand new car. If you're a Vol fan for life, you living in Knoxville?
