    I know i will use it alot on both of my GP's.My plan for my GTP was simple when i bought it,wasnt going to mod it much.I just dont have the willpower to leave it alone...maybe i will be happy after a cam,3.2 and tranny.




    EDIT: anyone deciding between cam and rockers, just get a damn cam if you are able.lol.

    Did some detail work. Buffed out the mirrors, and did back to black on all the rubber trim. Makes it look like new, but man is that stuff hard to get off the glass.





    Did a three step cut and buff on the hood and it really pops now.


    Tomorrow I think I want to go and find every small black screw/bolt that is visible, and paint them. Having corroded looking screws in door jams, or underhood looks bad to me.

    Thanks, I should know how to buff and detail a car. I used to work at a nice Detail shop. Lol

    Buffing is not that hard. Just dont want to burn up the paint. Especially on cars that need to cut with a heavy compound.

    @Nates94 I am in Detroit and I am trying to learm more about compounds and different waxes and such... How much would you charge me for some help and direction on telling me where to go to get my paint back to showroom quality?

    @DSmuts: How much do you charge to tune cars? I might need to make a drive down that way?

    Depends on how much you want to know. It's pretty straight forward stuff. On a newer car I wouldn't use a very heavy rubbing compound. Maybe just a claybar, polish, and a wax. If it really isn't that bad just a cleaner wax, and then a glaze or something to make the paint look deep again.

    Oh, and were do I get a set of clear corner makers for my GTP??? Those things are hot. I'd like that picture, but I don't know how anymore.

    Hit up the yard today. Found a new front filler plate (bottom). Mine had touch up paint on it. I also grabbed two nice new rear floor matts, and a new trunk liner that covers up the spare tire cover.

    Took a pic of the bay and admired it after it gave me the hardest time with the Damn coolant leak.
