Can't believe I'm selling it. I spent 3 months (including acid etch time) getting this grill perfect. Spent $70 on custom matched paint. Not to mention over $600 on BAT struts last month. Anyway...posting pictures of how my grill turned out in case anybody is interested. I know there have been lots of requests and interest in grills. Also-let me know if you want to buy a contour at a steal (I know, this is not the classifieds). I just bought a Mustang GT so it's got to go:

They do, it's called Turtle Wax Color Magic but it's actually more of a maroon color. However, the color chart on the bottle states that it's good for a wide spectrum of red shades. I used it for years on my Nissan Maxima (which was a maroon color similar to toreador red) and it worked great.

Thanks-I searched and asked folks on a different thread before and I understood that they don't make any type of red tinted wax. Wonder where I can get me some?

I'm having a hard time finding tinted turtle wax as well as the meguires clear plastic wax or polish for my headlights. I have checked:

-NAPA
-Advanced auto
-autozone
-wal-mart
-k-mart

...and those are pretty much the options in the st. louis area.
