Post Some Pics of your FC! :D <- Pics of your car go in this thread!!
I'm definitely going to get rid of alot of the orange peel.
It's the lack of attention to the body work that I'm going to have to live with
Ehhhh, I guess it still looks better than 90% of the S13's driving around my area though

Beachfc I feel your pain! I thought I did good body work but black is a bitch! And the orange peel was so bad on mine I ended up respraying it, which made it worse, so I just sanded it flat and left it. Feels more like my car when it looks shitty anyways. Next time I'm not cheaping out on paint.

Nice rides! A lot you guys have some clean looking taillights, how did you get them so clean? Did you use a restoration kit? I'm working on my getting my 7 drive-able again, and once it is up and running it is due for some good detailing work.

You can wet sand them, as most people do but, I just polished the **** out of mine as sanding bothered me.
Cut and polish is what Beach needs to fix his orange peel. Takes some elbow grease, but it works.

I took mine apart, pulled the diffusers out, resealed the lenses, sanded the lenses with 1000 grit and re- clearcoated them with a tiny amount of black tint to give them a mild smoke look. I think SAMSHIZZLE had his re-cleared as well but I'm not 100% sure
