pictures can be found here as well as on some other forums. i did not personally take many photos cuz i dont need any photos of stock cars with rims

the photos in this thread are of the cleanest ones there. nothing really caught my eye that day other then some nice upholstery on some cars and bikes. i dont know when gator skin back scales came into popularity... ya know the tall spikes on the back? having that right in your crotch? when did that become a popular thing.....

some one had ostarage as their roof liner on the exterior of their car... good clean work but idk why i didnt feel like taking photos....


there was a clean mazda 6 with race stripes but the paint was swirled to hell. it was embarasing to look at..i also thing there was a mazda 3.

i was hopping to win best paint but there was a bike that was not only polished to no swirl finish, but also has graphics painted into it. so competing against bikes i will prob never win best paint also cuz i dont have any custom paint work like graphics.. but i can try with my swirl free finish.

swirl free is serious stuff. normal wash and dry will cause your finish to get swirls no mater how hard you try to avoid it its almost imposible, the best way is to use a buffer and buff all swirls out and LEAVE IT ALONE before the show... using glazez and waxes help hide any swirls caused by finishing up after the polish.

i was never a fan of that rear spoiler.

Just imagine your car without it and a drop

Now its looking good, would put alot of those midwest imports to shame/tasteless styles some of those guys have. ALot of those cars wouldnt even make it to be featured in any publicated magazines, except something like that old Nopi tv show lol

i appreciate the comment, but if i were to lower it AT ALL i would not be able to drive it most places AT ALL. san antonio has very bad roads and alot of dips in the roads and steep drive ways. some times i have no choice but to scrape pulling out of a drive way. my drive way alone, i usto scrape every single time i would pull my car in untill they re-did the street and i asked them to make me a ramp. and they did.

so this rx7 will never be lower then it is now. for good reason. why the heck would i want to damage my front bumper just to look "cooler" or make other people happy. im perfectly happy with my ride hight. its PRACTICAL

you kidding? i would have NEVER got rid of it. i never filled the holes i was just going to put plugs in them and ride with out it for a while since while doing body work it looked pretty darn snazzy with out a wing at all. but once it was painted and the painter helped me place it back up. it was love all over again.

if i didnt put it back on the car it would have been back hanging in my garage. i have 2 posts sticking out that hold it up like a trophy. i would never sell it... but if i want to get rid if it it'll go back to you jesse
