NEW DAYTIME PICTURES IN POST #16!

I just got done removing all the curb scratches, repolishing the lips, and orbital buffing the faces on my new (old) wheels (in my garage). It took 6 hours total. Very uneventful. The fender rolling took about 4 hours. I need to raise the car up about 3 threads. It's rubbing and knocking on the top part of the front inner wheel well on hard bumps. I am installing some 16mm spacers in the front after I have time to put the extended wheel studs on. The wheel studs are just sitting in my room right now.

I did a quick photo shoot last night; and a quick edit. These pictures did not turn out the way I wanted. I might take some daytime pictures tomorrow if I have some time. I forgot to take a side-profile shot!

I really like the new look of the car. I'm still trying to sell the Work VS-xx's. It's taking forever! Enjoy, guys!

 

Nice!

 

absolutely gorgeous!!! makes me want to get one

 

ill

Not bad for an Okie



Nice shots. I need to go there and shoot some pics off EXPWY.

 

I do, sir.

 

You guys might enjoy these pictures. This was the progress of one of the wheels.

Before air-sanding the curb mark:


Overall dullness of the lip:




Air sanding has begun on half of the curb mark:


Almost done with the sanding:


Sanding with sandpaper (probably at 2000grit stage; don't remember):


Hand application of polish on inner; machine on outer part of lip. I could not get the polishing pad to maintain a good contact with the inner part of the lip:


Lip polishing is almost complete. About to start on wheel face:


Result of machine-applied Menzerna Intensive Polish, Final Polish II, Poorboy's Blackhole Glaze, and hand-applied cheap Meg's Gold Class wax:


Close-up:


All the pictures are straight off the camera. I was thinking about taking the wheels apart to get them 100% flawless. But that would have taken way more time. I am happy with how they turned out; without having to take them apart.

 

wheel turned out good.

 

Love it

 

I will be taking daytime pictures this weekend. That will take care of most of the difficult lighting issues that accompanies shooting black cars in low-light conditions. Please stay tuned!

Here is a crappy side-profile shot of the car in garage. Pardon the reflection of the other car and myself, haha:

 

vip status ftw..im digging it

 

 

sick!!!!

 

is the kid in the middle the owner....lol! nice car and lip restoration!

 

damn...

 

I (the owner) was behind the camera for the shot. The kids were playing basketball; and wanted a shot by the car for their myspace page.

 

 

Great wheel fitment!!

 

Does the kid in the middle go to a school called Western Heights?
He looks very familiar.

I swear I have seen this car somewhere.
I live in central OKC, not exactly sure where I might've seen it though.

 

Looks way nicer than the VSXX. Size and offset on the works is weak. Usually I don't care for black/polished lip but your car pulls it off very well. Are those L-Tuned skirts?

 

I have no idea. He and his friends were just playing ball where I was shooting.

Yes; they are L-tuned sideskirts.
