Begun polishing the entire car so once my sideskirts, bumper, drivers door, and drivers rear quarter panel get resprayed next monday the rest of the cars' paint will be in a decently comparable state. The previous owner of 8 years did not use proper washing techniques so i'm having to pay the price, but it will be worth it. Here is a before and after pic of the hood.

The hood was the worst but the entire car wasn't looking too good. Mostly hard water stains but quite a bit of swirls and scratches too. Yeah the red paint fades really easily. Both my side mirrors have 0 clear coat on them, so when i polished them it took a little color off, but they are shiny now. I'll probably have to get them repainted...

Not a whole lot really, The tabs at the bottom didnt really line up with TollboothWilleys aluminum undertray, so it only has 4 bolts in the middle on the bottom, but it won't budge at all. Drilling out the slots for the grill took a while, but it was easy and fits perfect. the biggest part was that the flange that the fenderliner gets tucked behind is too fat, so that needed to be trimed down about 1/4" to 1/2". Also, under one headlight is a 1/4" gap that i can't get rid of, but thats pretty close to OEM fitment and the body shop will probably be able to fix that, i'm just done messing with it. The sidemarker slots are REALLY tight, but that is better than being too big though.
