Default New Paint job (BLING) and fresh wax!! (56k /yourself)

I got a new paint job in the fall and then stored the car for the winter. It came out of storage about three weeks ago and just received a sexy coat of high end wax applied with an orbital buffer this past weekend! The colour is factory Granada Black (NH503P) and it has A LOT of bronze flake in the paint, you can really see it in some of the pics. When the sun hits it, the paint almost looks bronze .









you can see a lot of the flake in this pic where the sun is reflecting on the fender


lots of bronze flake in this pic too

great looking gs.r...reminds me of my old one (r.i.p.) only comment, DE-WING A.S.A.P. i think it makes the car look so much cleaner without it. just my opinion of course.

thanx for the replies, i love the wing, so it's staying!. also, the camera used to take these pics was a Canon S400 5.0mp. The goal of these pics was to capture the depth and quality of the paint and wax job, which is why the pics were taken in the sun. the next photoshoot will focus on 'artsy' pics

i was back and forth on whether or not to shave the side moldings, i decided against it because i didn't want the doors to get warped in the welding process and also they are the only thing protecting the doors from any stray shopping carts, but obviously shaved sides look a lot better

Your car has a very balanced, "complete" look to it. Of course, i'm a little bit biased since we're twins But honestly your car is beautiful! makes me want a wing

Please keep her safe!!!
