The last the picture is just perfect man. A lot of work and effort went into repairing the front bumper, but turned out great. How did the paint blend with the rest of the car? I want to see some shots from that side in the sun.

That turned out quite nice, I have to admit I was a little worried with the shaving of the side markers...I now have a new opinion-IT LOOKS GOOD!

Thanks for the compliment! Coming from you, it means a lot! It blends perfect. Everyone thinks I reprinted my whole car but I just detailed it and its perfect match

Thanks! At first I was hesitant about it until I photoshopped it. Makes it look super clean and less things going on in the front.

Heres another picture from yesterday. I haven't edited anything yet so here's a raw shot

I'm honored to have you comment on my thread! I've always loved the look of your car. You're the reason why I even got an SC haha. I actually think the rear looks too round without the spoiler. I'm not sure where you're referring to on the low spot

lol, i'm no king **** i do apriciate it though. The low spot im reffering too on the bumper is right where the licence plate would go, right below the grill if you look at your or my pictures you see like a half moon shaped line right below the grill that bows down like a frown it looks like a shade and it is but from a low spot on the bumper in that spot its big too. Unfortenatly because of the shape it would take a lot of work to get it 100% straight maybe next time around i will do that as well.
