When I bought the car the big spoiler was on it. At first I thought that is was cool because it was a different. Then the more I looked at it, the more I hated it. Know I can see out my back window. Plus the person that put it on there did a ****-poor job of painting it.

I had used some cheap turtle wax that was laying around. I NEED to get a clay-bar and buff the car.

That's one hella nice paint job. Is that factory? Or has it been resprayed at some point? In the before shot, the relection on the hood is almost like a mirror.

The day I took the "before" pic I took just after waxing it. The car is far from perfect. The pics don't show the flaws.

The front nose and mirrors need to be repainted. The previous owner must have hit a curb hard while parking.




These r the marks left on the hatch from the old spioler



The car is 12 years old and has 126000 miles on it. Other then the flaws in the pics, it is in good shape

In a couple years after I get a aftermarket hood, I will have the car repainted.
