No, but I could tell you that it didn't look half this good. I also clayed it and polished it about a month ago, so the paint was well prepped. It's not flawless but it's pretty much as good as 15 yr old paint gets. Actually, I probably could get it flawless if I ever get my hands on a DA polisher.

Thanks for all the compliments. Makes me want to finish these headlights already

I would like to say Meisters, I would like to say SP1's, but I'm pretty sure that they are Rota D2s. But I got them at a ridiculously cheap price, and it seems that no one can really tell the difference, so I'm good.

Once the headlights are changed and tails upgraded, your car will look super clean

I think I seen you once or twice in the area as well

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure I was next to you at a stoplight on flamingo rd a while back.

I know what I'm doing with the headlights but still not sure on the tails. I was thinking of just having a body shop do the whole professional tint/clear job, so it will look smooth and wet, like the paint, while still being transparent. No cheap rattle can job for me.

I did everything by hand. With waxing, you pretty much get the same end results whether you do it by hand or machine; the only difference is time.
