used meguiers medium grit rubbing compound and fine grit...followed by swirl remover and then hit it with two coats of nxt wax

 

Nice car man.

She sure is screaming for a different set of wheels though

 

I like the hood. What kind is it and how big of cowl?

 

beauty...

 

its a 3inch harwood show series

 

Where did you get it at?

 

damn where are you located? want a job? lol i have about 5 cars that need that lol. Seriously though awesome job I love the way black shines when its clean.

 

looks nice and shiney to me

 

Looks great!!! I usually don't like black b/c of the swirls and crap... but that looks awesome!

 

wow,
good job

 

looks great , now throw those friggen wheels out they look horrible , i think a set of ccw wheels with a polished lip and black centers in 17 inches would look great on the car.

 

Looks awesome! I think the wheels look fine

 

good job

 

its getting these wheels





not sure if i wanna do 17x9 front and 18x9.5 rear?


i also got my clear turn signals in today

 

jegs


87ciz....i live good ole wisconsin...up in green bay ...its rainging now

 

™ shiny. Those wheels are awesome. Who makes em? offset? bolt pattern? Will they even fit the car?

 

sportmax racing makes them...the offset they come in only fit the 4th gen cars...so i will be using a 2inch spacer....when i buy a 12 bolt rear i will buy a 4th gen offset rear so i dont need spacers in the rear....they are 140 a pop for the 17x9s


this is the look i am aiming for

 

Where did you get the clear turn signals at? Ive benn looking for some.

 

found them on ebay for $25 shipped....look up procarparts for the seller

Where did you find them?
I like the look

 

I don't remember him asking about his wheels or your opinion of them. Good to see you offer it up unwelcome as usual.

Nice car BTW, stock wheels and all!

 

A little constructive criticism never hurt anyone. ™

 

i can't remember where i found that pic...it was on this site somewhere....


and i do agree...those wheels are wrecking the car!...i hate them things!

 

I've noticed that when people post pics of their cars and they aren't up to a high standard... they get chewed apart by other members. This has got to stop!

I think the car looks beautiful, and I have the stock wheels myself, and they have grown on me. I was gonna get a set of 18's and hop in the same boat as evone else, but I'm sticking with 16" '87 IROC wheels, and my 15" Weld Draglites for the track.

I've never seen a black car shine like that in my life!

 

Your right, it doesnt matter if its the heigth, wheels, tint, random dent, mismatched colors.

When someone asks your opinion about something, dont chime in with your opinion about something else you think is wrong with their car. Its their car, and I'm sure they have a reason they put their 'to-do' list in the order its in.

Some people want paint before rims, some people want to clear speedbumps, some people want performance of looks.

My opinion on the paint, is.....looks beautifull. Very nice shine, i wish my car had paint 1/10th as good as yours. One question, you said you used swirl remover, did it have a bunch before you did this? How about a compairason, side by side

 

the reason for the buffing was the car just came out of the shop because of an idiot motorist hitting the car...the paint from the doors back is 4+ years old compared to the month old paint on the front clip....there was swirl marks and small scratches...it looked stupid so i invested the time to make it all look newer or closer to new...i think i did good for my first try

 

Well you did a damn good job then I couldnt even tell the difference


Just a small nitpick that you can easily fix, the hood lip on the drivers side finder looks a tiny bit off, I think that rubber mount on the radiator support is about a couple rounds out too far

 

Your car is retardedly shiney, awesome job. Dont worry bout the stocker wheels for now, i ran my car like that all last year, i did what i could with them to make them look their best...until i saved up for the Pro Stars and got what i wanted.

Definitely waiting to see what its gonna look like once you get the new wheels on it

 

kevin....yea...i am in the process of figuring out why its doing that



tuned port....me too...i am guessing i will be super happy...its getting suspension in the spring...can't wait!

 

black84z28-4spd that car you posted with the black rims and the polished dish looks amazing!!!! and those sportmax 962's you want i have on my jetta. they look badass great choice in wheels! pic for reference

 

can you get some better close ups?....they heavy?....quality?

 

Looks great. You could always paint your wheels black in the mean time it would look pretty good.

 

nah, dont wanna waste money and the time on paint on wheels that will end up on the s10 i plan on buying when i come up with the cash

 

looks like you did a fantastic job ,very shiny,CLEAN
