In case you haven't had an opportunity lately, please take some time to read and try to understand these points:

https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/ann...?s=&forumid=13

Particularly, examine the second, fourth, seventh, and eighth paragraphs. The limit of attachments PER THREAD is THREE, regardless of forum.

We already allow for a nearly total waste of valuable bandwidth and server resources by having an Appearance and Detailing Board in the first place. The original intent was to share information about maintaing and enhancing the appearance of members' ThirdGen F-Body vehicles. The last time I checked with the guys in Flint and Bowling Green, the "F-Body" designation did not include the Corvette models. It certainly does not include

Also, intentionally circumventing the board language filters is prohibited, and mayt result in probation and/or banishment.

I'll pretend that some of you "forgot" the rules, and needed to re-read them to refresh your memories - Once. I'd expect that the offensive parts of the posts will be edited post-haste. Or, I can take care of the problem.

It looks good . It will look even better when you get the rims on there . What about doing the clear corners on the car and some 5% tint all around . Looks good .

Thank you for pointing that out. I simply noticed that nick had posted three attachments, so I was reminding him of the "guideline". No one said that any rule was violated in that respect. I'm just trying to do my job and prevent that.

And yes, that's a nice ride. So, that's what the back end of a Jeep looks like? I usually only see them in the mirror. I'm sure you know the feeling. Still, you wouldn't really want to go off-roading in a ThirdGen. Not intentionally anyway.

BTW - I've always liked black, but it seems like it never stays looking good for more than fifteen minutes at a time. I have two black cars, and it's a constant battle, even when they are stored in the garage. One thing I've found that works pretty well is Wizards "Mist 'n Shine". It's a no-wax, no-silicone spray that is anti-static and anti-streak, I've actually had both of them looking respectable for up to thirty minutes, which is just about long enough to finish one before starting on the other. I get it a a local auto parts store, but you can probably find it in your area or in the web at www.wizardsproducts.com

Have you found anything that works well for you? I'm always open to suggestions.

Yes, he knows. I simply wanted to remind him, so that there was no reason for anyone to do anything rash. Everyone is watching.

And 83 - Thank you for cleaning up the reply with the questionable language. Same reason.

Back on subject,
NICE RIDE, I remember when my paint looked like that, I also remember when It wasnt on jackstands
The rear defrost wont be an issue if you have a good installer putting the tint on.

I've been spending HOURS refinishing a set of GTA wheels for mine. Almost done, just polishing/painting left. This is what it should look like when I get them on.
