My bro in law mentioned to me the other week that he wanted me to help fix the paint on his car. I figured no big deal, he usally takes car of the car so I wasnt worried and I could use some more practice. Well come to find out he has been running it through a carwash lately and thats what I blame most of the scratches from. I coulnt get too many before pics because the light wasnt there, I did manage to get one once I started working though. As you can see from the first few pics, all of the paint on the car was this way. I spent about 8 hours on it total.

Nice work. Love those SLP tips. Definitely go wingless. All 99-04 Mustangs, other than the 03-04 Cobra, look better sans wing, IMO.
 
Good to know that 105 works well on Ford black.



4fit?: Didn't know you had a B. I had #3416 because of #3230. :D

a Saleen or Roush would look quite odd without their wing. :)



Personally, I think it depends on the car, not all GTs look good wingless, mostly bone stock ones.. makes them look very 'V6'ish'

Here's my #6 Mustang with the roush kit with and without a Saleen wing. Decide for yourself. :nervous2:

Nice turnaround really dig that hood. Those front tires are going to wear out really fast. Black looks awesome without swirls.
 
Looks good. I am suprised the swirls were pretty minor, my black GT swirls if you look at it wrong.. extremely soft clear on these cars.



I personally pefer wingless, dont mid the 4x4, the potholes & speed bumps are rediculous here

Ditch those monster cupholder side emblems!
 
Tell your Brother in law to stay out of the swirl-o-rama aka car wash!

Nice recovery! :2thumbs:

Just your opinion man. Like I said, I feel that the only New Edge stang that looks good with the wing is the Terminator.

Seems like I've seen you say that on SVTP before. Still don't know what that means. lol. Why did you have one B because of another one?



Oh yeah, wingless FTMFW!!!!!:werd:

Yep i'm guilty as charged. But it will never go threw the car wash at work ever again. I bought it with 3,000 miles on it ,and it was swirled from the start. once the wax went away you could see that someone had buffed it. And did a horrible job. Had swirl marks everywhere in it. But thanks to my brother inlaw she is shining once again.

He gave me a ride in his and I was sold. I am also on SVTP and have been for years upon years. :)
