Quick bath





Oh and for future reference if anyone was wondering for a future purchase the front bumper fit perfectly fine and IMO better then the stock bumper that came on it or that might be an illusion since the new one looks better. $80 well spent on the front bumper

Cost about $450 including the kit, mirrors, and front an rear bumpers.

Took it to a guy my dad knows at the Ford body shop and he did it on the side friday night and got it done saturday.

That's awesome! Did he just do it for the cost of materials?

Definitely, it took my hood and spoiler a couple weeks to get done and this took 2 days. Immediately got home and started work and did 70% of it myself till my dad arrived and helped.

It looks good tanner, but I agree with sleepy , I think you do need more black, it looks a little weird without the black "moldings" On the bumpers , also maybe paint " pontiac" in black? Idk to maybe balance the theme a little.
Btw do you have any pics of the rear piece?

Yall must not be reading my posts , I have the black moldings for my bumpers and am painting the molding on the kit black to match. I am NOT getting black mirrors, that would look dumb as sht. Also have the new arrowhead I need to put on

And im installing the rear lip and rear bumper tomorrow

so I was browsing in harbor freight tonight and found this



which was pretty surprised at.

M105 $35
M205 $32

yes there more expensive than autogeek or autopia, both sites have both products for $27 plus shipping.

with that being said HF runs 20% off coupons all the time. I bet I get 2 or 3 a week in the mail and the sunday paper. so let me do that fast math for you

$35 - 20% = $28 + tax
$32 - 20% = $25.60 + tax

but neither are with shipping.

thought this was a good find and thought I would pass the deal on to you guys

That's an awesome find I'll have to go to the local HF and see if they have any.

I usually get my detailing products from detailed image. They have great prices and cheap fast shipping. When I got my M105 I got it for around $20+Shipping when it was on sale and used a coupon. That's a good deal at HF if you can get a coupon, but otherwise id check out detailed image

I totally agree. it really is great stuff.

HF has some polishers and pads too. I don't recommend either really, but especially not the polishers. keep to the PCs and not burning your paint.

not to be "that guy" but M105 at detailedimage.com is $26, only a dollar cheaper cheaper then the other 2 sites. I've never heard of that website, but I will definatly be browsing it though.

sorry for being that guy though. buy whatever you want from whoever you want.

I don't mind you pointing out things. Was just sharing my go to site for good deals on detailing products and tools. I think it's good to share all sites and stores deals to promote business and help out others get good deals.

Autogeek is $28 for M105, and shipping is $13
Detailed image is $26 ($2 cheaper) and shipping is $10 (They have a coupon for $5 shipping any order right now)

autogeek's shipping goes up with more items, detailed image does not. if you add M205 to autogeek shipping goes up to $16. (To me that is outrageous for two bottles of detailing product)

I have seen detailed image have 20% off coupon sales from time to time as well, but they always have a 10% off coupon.
