Wash+Clay+Polish=Pic time

So After receiving the 05 4.8is a few weeks ago, it was in need of a good cleaning.

Started off with a good wash, wheel cleaning. After that there was some trash all over the paint. This included the roof, hood and bumpers. (Since I moved the Sirius antenna into the spoiler, there was allot of glue in the roof paint.) So out came the Zaino clay. Then some polish.

After a good part of Sat and some today. I didn't have much time for fun locations, just a few quick shots.

Onto the pics This thing just plain ROCKS!















This got some love too

Thanks all. I can't stop driving this thing. Did the home depot run on sat too. It was fun.

I do want to running boards. I just not sure about the price increase for the flairs. I'm still thinking about it. Let me get some more mods done first. The X-pipe and magnaflow bullets to replace the mid pipes are next up.

Also just noticed I need this lower part of the steering column trim.

i too am not sure about the increase in the price of the flares, i don't really understand why they would increase the price? is demand getting that low?

also, what do you guys think the going rate for oem aluminum running boards should be these days?
