For someone who constantly gave me sht for the retro you sure as hell didn't even bother to read the first couple pages of the build thread to where I said with the D2S 3.0s where riveted together and you couldn't take them apart to do the demon eye effect. And trust me, if I was able to do the demon eye, you would of saw it from the pictures I've already posted by now.


Nonetheless heres an up close photo.

You're a funny guy, must need your eyes checked, seeing as it hasn't been detailed(buffed, polished, or waxed) since August of 2013 I would say that gloss is pretty fine to me. Still surprised the sht outta me when I used the sheeting method with the hose and 98% of the water went off after all that time.

ummm. . . . isn't this a direct contradiction? like saying I don't care what color it is, as long as its red.

oh how pictures



. . . .can be deceiving


car is filthy dirty right now, as it is every week thanks to the a-holes that recycle concrete next door to my work. but the top picture looks very good, while the bottom pic shows a fraction of how dirty the car really is.

btw EJ01GAGT nice rims and tires they look great, as does the rest of the car. I hope that 1 bucket in the pic means that there is a 2nd dirty water bucket off camera. its the easiest and best way to keep your car looking that good.
