Default 16 hrs detailing the Green Hunter, and a photoshoot (x-post)
x-post from the Turbo forum. Thought I'd share some pics I took recently
I hate to do polish/wax/detailing. I much rather remove the engine than polishing the car.. But anyway, after the repaint 7 years ago I have never done a proper polish/wax job so it was long overdue.
I got the Meguiars deep crystal system and a cheap twin head machine.





Step 2 of 3 done...




Foto session with some different lenses etc. Unforunately the sun decided to hide behind dark clouds most of the time. So the photos didn't quite turn out as good as I hoped for. Hope you enjoy

E85 huh? Does it run on Bunnies?
http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/ene...s-for-biofuel#

That's a lot of negative in the rear end, do you own a tire supplier?
Do I see a VAG in the paint reflection there? Yes...yes I do.

That's it, nice car.

I like this shot the best -- very industrial and the car position is aggresive! Very nice!

Thanks for the comments!
The car is repainted in Rainforest Green, a pearl effect color that came in '98 on the 996 and Boxster.
The wheels are Gemballa LeMans (made by Speedline).

Around 3000 miles. They're more or less evenly worn, the camber works great at the track
