Man, their number was more embarrasing that what I offered you for the vehicle. :bowrofl:

Hey, we realize our client hit your six figure vehicle.... Here's $500 to make up for it. :bowrofl:
Easy there, mine stickered under 6 figures. Few options I dont have to push it over 6 figures.
Still a poverty truck being its under 6 figures.

The thought of buying an aftermarket hood has crossed my mind being she is going to the shop for paint work on bumper. Then I was told how much to paint the hood, blend the fenders would cost and the chance of hood needing some body work. Not happening, lol.
If fenders were getting blended as part of the bumper then I might have pulled the trigger.

flat black vinal wrap hood and roof. if you don't like it, give yourself more OT then paint it.

Hawk finally got some new shoes. Ferrada FR3, 22x10.5 machined faces, chrome lip and black pockets. Toyo Proxes III 295/35/22 tires. Was going back and forth on all black or bronze. Then I started getting in to a full custom set up which woulda been in the $6k-$7500 area. As much as I get rid of cars didn’t feel like being stuck with a set of rims built for a TH. Then woulda took a BEATING selling a full custom set. I found these and thought color combo was perfect. I also wanted more of a deeper concave. But on my White SRT I did a deep concave with 305’s and had nothing but rubbing issues. Didn’t want to deal with that shit again. Rig goes to Royal Coach Tuesday for bumper repair. So gives me time as I’m probably going to ceramic coat the rims and calipers. Then swap out the horrible Brembo pads.

I know this is going back a few pages, but I’m new. What did you use to tint your reverse lights and the side of your head lights? Lamin-x precut or did you cut them from a roll of tint? Space Ghost approves of new wheels!
Have used their products on a few cars

I'm curious how long that'll last on wheels, I've only used that product on paint but that was a few years ago. The shop I used to work at turned me into a Gtechniq fan boy.
I'm open to suggestions. I have experience with the CK and WG. The WG I wasnt a fan of at all and will be re-doing both the Wifes and Daughters vehicles this Spring

I've used a little bit of everything except for the modesta products. I've just gotten so used to the line of Gtechniq products. For the cost and quality I don't think they can be beat. For wheels, C5 wheel armour is so easy to work with I could apply it, go make a sandwich and then remove it. Even the professional only product, Crystal Serum, as long as it's not crazy humid out it's not a terrible product to worth with as in terms of working times. The consumer product Crystal Serum Lite, especially when it's cooler out, has a long enough working time with it that if you have very minor detail experience you shouldn't have any issues and if you do notice a high spot it'll hand polish out more then likely. Then again, just like painting it is all in the prep work prior to applying any sort of coating and I tend to over do it when it comes to making sure whatever I'm coating is as clean or bare as possible.
