Not the best pics, but I JUST got done with my detail...I still need to do the trim around the windows AND polish the windows but for the most part I'm done. Took me WAY too long (at least 24 hours...over the course of quite a few days). I think I may throw another layer of SG on after a few days and a wash.

BTW- It's an overcast day @ 9pm in Alaska.
 
That looks great for white!



BTW, don't worry about how long it took you... if you get the results you desire at the end of it, then it's worth every minute. ;)
 
Looks sweet! I like the mods you have done.



9pm?! Are you in one of those places that gets like 2 hours of darkness a day? Can you explain it? :)

Great results, the time you spent was really worth it! The kit you have is pretty sick - I love what you've done to your car!

Take your body kit back to the place that painted it and tell them to match the rest of the car...

Man...if you only knew......



That's as close as it's going to get. I've been to two seperate body shops. This first one ripped me off $1500 because they couldn't get the color matched right (after three times of trying) and then...they decided to stop answering my phone calls....but that's a whole different story.



Next place did a fantastic job AND charged me another $500. Honestly, I don't know why there is such a discrepency in the photos. I looked at them again after you said that and noticed it too....but looking at the vehicle in person you can't tell a difference. I'll take a closer look when I get home, but I think the color is spot on. I've been told that white is a very difficult color to match.



But....after spending 2k for the kit and another 2k for the body work + paint...I think I'm done with it.



Thanks for all the compliments...it was a lot of work to make it looks like this. And that's not even talking about what's under the hood. I couldn't make it all show and no go! ;)
 
The color matches just fine. You could see a slight difference in the 2nd pic, but who cares? It looks very slick. Sure nobody's brought it up.
