you do realize you took all the wax off when you polished it right?

what do you use on your tires?

Looks great!

love the hood, yours matches, my new hood (used) is off a shade. Your grille is off an SSE/SSEi, did you do that or did you get it with the hood?

And i see your missing the emblem in the middle too, I have a broken grille at the house and the emblem is still good, the white arrow head would look great, PM me if your interested.

i hope you only wet-sanded bc u painted. and not wet sand ur clear coat. or did you mean clay-bar.

and if you did paint, aren't you supposed to wait like a month or some sort of grace period before waxing?
