As promised, the after pics. It was really bright out, and I was out since 6 AM, so they are a little noisy. All-in-all, he did a great job. He got it clean, clayed it, buffed it as best he couls and then shined it up. Some of the deeper swirl marks are still visible, as well as the deeper scratched. He suggested taking it to a real body shop if I want the scratches and scuffs repaired. The paint is glass smooth to the touch now though, and he put on a couple of coats of paste wax to keep it protected for now.
Answering the questons..
Those are Rev Type XIIs in 17x7 w/ Toyo Proxes in 215/40-17. I put them on about a month ago or so, after the weather warmed up, keeping the stock rims for the winter tires I'll get.
I do have a cat, but no pre-cats due to my MSDS headers. He offered to polish up the tips, but I have a True-Bendz Magnaflow catback coming, so I told him to let it go and concentrate on the paint.
OK, my turn for a question. The brake rotors were the ones I got from Stazi, but like an ass, I didn't get them plated. Is it worth it to get them stripped and plated, or would it make more sense to get new ones instead? Any suggestions as to brand/source? I had my calipers painted when I had my headers installed, and the rust really detracts from the look.
Next projects:
1. Exhaust
2. Installing the Steeda shifter from the G/B.
3. Tinting the windows, amybe a 40% smoke.
Thanks for the advice guys. Appreciate the help.
