Ferrari's are beautiful pieces of machinery! They just need lots of money to be repaired constantly haha... Well if you ever run across anyone trying to trade you their 360 for your SC, let me know

Anyways, can't wait to see the changes you have planed, sir.

holy **** i know dude lol

Check out my myspace pictures from my old job
Myspace.com/viptoyotaforever

I used to work at a body shop that specialized in exotics

one time we had a guy come in, said his wife was driving the car and backed into another vehicle, i took a look at it, any other car, maybe around 1300 worth of damage... their quote, and this is by the books, was for $19,800+

all that was damaged was a tear in the rear, the ONE light was scratched and the paint... ridiculous. Granted the car has 7 coats of color and 11 coats of clear.











On a side note, thanks for the words guys, im Super excited to get this project rolling.

Check one thing off the list,

Purple Hids, and redid the head lights
Instead of the Tint being on the lens, i Black chromed the inside and tinted the turns Orange for that Soarer look







OLD way, tinted lens


Before and after, pictures dont do it justice



you can tell it made a big difference in the light travel threw the Lens by how much the flash reflects in the Projector lens

Its extremely time consuming. heres a list of stuff to get

1 pack of 500 grit sand paper
1 pack of 800 grit sand paper
1 pack of 2000 grit sand paper
1 pack of 3000 grit sand paper
Polishing wheel
Muguiers Plastic X (amazing)
Squirt bottle filled with room temp water



Throw on a Movie or some TV and plate ur *** for at least a good 2-3 hours

~ start out with the 500 grit, and start sanding, every couple of minutes spray it lightly with water and keep sanding, After it has an even Haze too it, move onto the 800 grit....

Just continue that pattern till you get to the 3000 grit. Luckily i have it on an orbital drill so i can get the process done in about an hour. so its your call what you want to do.

Then with the polishing wheel and PlasticX just take your time and really polish the hell out of it until you cant see any lines or spider webs in the plastic and your good =D
