Holy crap - talk about a shine. It looks great. What did wax did you use?

Moon: Griot's best of show wax. Really easy on and off.
Kim: hope to see you in Boston someday. Maybe at Frenzy? Hope the whole Texas crowd makes it there for that one.

Is that Griot's wax clear... or white going on?
I have issues working with white products on dark colored paint.
It really does an awesome job on that black shark body!
(In addition to the elbow grease, natch!)

I will be travelling BOS, NPT & Rockport, ME (not MA) Sept 15th - 23rd.
Was hoping it would coincide with your Boston Shark Party...

I'm working during the Frenzy (gotta pay bills, ya know), but sights set for Rennsport III, @ Daytona in November...

Now go for a drive!

You've done almost exactly what I want to do...I've removed my side strips, and will likely black out the side markers (with black tint model paint) and top it off with black window tint for the ultimate dark look . Of course this will all be offset by my polished club sport rims (Tass)...

How did you do the rear bumperette delete...that looks awesome..would love to do the same.

Also..one final note..I've been thinking about painting my rear wing and going with gloss black..now I know some of you think...what?..black wing on black car...no one will notice the difference..but I've seen a few black GTS's with the gloss black wing and I think it adds some nice detail...

Later,
Tom

Very nice!!! I particularly like the side marker and side moldings delete, in connection with the GTS mirrors. That gives the car such a clean look!

Now, the only thing left you can do is to replace those rubber bumpers between the fogs and turn signals with the clear Euro piece...

Oh, and a set of polished GT rims, I guess...

Nicole, Carl had a set of CS rims that he polished to perfection. But, they wouldn't fit over the GTS brakes that he fitted while he was polishing the CS rims. So, Tass bought them and apparently Tom now wants them. My CS rims are in a safety deposit box.

I figured that Carl had them at some point and for whatever reason did not use them. Glad they are in good hands now...

Haha...nope..I have my set of polished CS rims on my GT right now...I think the shine offsets the black very nicely....and I also have a set of CS rims shod with hoosiers for the track..I mean..how can someone only have one set of CS rims...you must have at least two???right??

BTW...it's a real catch 22.....I love the CS rims..but want big brakes....ahh the dilemma....
