pics after car wash (56k beware)

[archillasvante]

A couple days back me and Marvin got together to wash our cars... here's a few random pics of the aftermath. The blue SE is mine and the silver SC/T belongs to him. Hope you enjoy these.

Nice rides my man. I would say that you guys need wheels but I can't really talk seeing as I'm on the hidious steel stockers.

I love clean cars. Props for the Silver GA and props for the SE...together they would make a great car...;)

[rennation]

nice but don't paint the hubs a bright color, you shouldnt want to show them off...

[peshields]

nice cars. the silver one makes me want to paint mine silver.... or orange and silver..... or... arg, nevermind

Hey now! That's my color scheme! :asshat LoL

[pyro]

drums anything but black = ftl. looks awesome otherwise, favorite SE color.

[Phuxed]

Very clean, nice pictures. I like how you set them both up with the tree in the middle. :thumbs:

[JoshuaW]

that interior looks nice and clean

[peshields]

Hey now! That's my color scheme! :asshat LoL

he he.. you need have no worry's. i don't plan on ripping off your paint scheme... just a few lines... and like i have the money to actually do it? plus, your all cf'd. i don't plan on doing that... :)

OR
I could SC/T mine and get it painted as a replica of yours...:angel

[sqeet]

I (being Marvin) actually really like the chrometechs and I think they look really good on my car...if they came in an 18" version, I'd probably be completely satisfied with that...however, when the time arises (performance mods take precedence over aesthetics) I will probably go with some black powder coated rims with a polished lip...I love the way they look in motion...Thanks for the positive comments, though. Steve (with the blue SE) is the one who inspired me to get my GT.

[sqeet]

I'm sad you left out my favorite picture though, steve:

What does that even mean?

[nascarnate326]

Means Coupe is a little hardcore on paint. If i remember right he has the 2nd nicest on here. Sik being the first.

[SikMindz]

LoL!

</=== winnAR! Yellow wire loom club FTW!

[elim]

Sik being the first.

bahahahahahahahahahaha

[laxjax13]

yo marvin where in illinois are you?

[sqeet]

yo marvin where in illinois are you?


Richton Park, a far southwest suburb of Chi...What about you?

[Mendoza]

That blue SE is in need for nice buff job. After that maybe sik will let you join the yellow wire loom club

[coupe]

What does that even mean?


I was just bustin his balls. Im critical about paint.
I just noticed that the SE is in some seriuos need of paint correction.

By no means do i have anywhere near the nicest ga.

[archillasvante]

Yeah, I do need to take better care of the paint. I'm planning on getting it repainted soon. I was gonna do an SE-GT conversion and eventually get the SC/T kit. Speaking of which has anyone ever seen a navy blue GT?

You need help with that let me know, your not to far from me.

first thing i noticed. and me thinks that either the wax was skipped or it was the cheap stuff, no offense, but it just doesn't look waxed from where i'm sitting.

btw, as far as wheels go, some aftermarket ones are more than just appearance mods, they will weight less than stockers and thus add to performance by making the car just that much lighter. even if it isn't too much weight shaved, every bit counts.

[sqeet]

Yeah, we skipped the wax. Didnt have the time for it...

[TheOak]

like em both

the Se stands out to me because my interior is painted like that,you have a bit more done then me but same idea.

I also painted my hubs,I think some paint is better then rust and crappy looking

If thats your goal painting them black would be best, you just dont wanna draw attention to drums.

[SikMindz]

No way. Yellow everything FTW!

[sqeet]

What exactly does "FTW" stand for?

[SikMindz]

Feragauordiy Tsenusous Wydojude...Google it!

[Ajaxus]

What exactly does "FTW" stand for?

since king sik is being a douche, it means "for teh win" basically translates to "this is the best" or somewhere along those lines.

[archillasvante]

where's the SC/T ??

[archillasvante]

No such thing in reality.
Whats most important is your prep work.
Its 90% prep and 10% wax.

[archillasvante]

Ok... I guess I'm just bad at this whole thing. So what steps do you take in your 'prep work'? I have no idea what to do. All I know to do is rinse, wash, dry.
