Default First time posting pics

Hi all,

This is the first time I'm posting pics. I picked up the car about 2 months ago and have done very minor mods for now. The bigger stuff will come later on It is an 03 GS300 black on black with Mark Levinson, Navi, and OEM HIDs. Only things I've really done so far are some lighting mods, painted calipers and black pearl emblems.

I just spent about 5 days removing all the swirls the car had by hand I feel like my arms are going to fall off. I did 3 coats of ScratchX on all parts of the body, followed by deep crystal polish and then topped off with NXT paste wax. I have to say I'm really impressed with the results as the swirls are almost non-existent now. They were horrible and very noticeable before I removed them. I think these are the best results that can be achieved by hand without getting it done professionally. Anyway, on to the pics:
