Big thanks again to Y2KPewterSS for his help with this. It takes a bit of work, but so far it's turning out nicely. Pay close attention to the left side.

We still got a lot of wires to hide, but big improvement

!wire mod looks sooooo good. Cleans it up a whole lot. Sometimes I wish my car wasn't black so it would be more obvious that I hid mine. It looks stunning on pewter.

Yep, I think it cleans things up nicely. That Y2KPewterSS kid does good work. I have since removed that unsightly battery handle too.

Glad to hear it on the battery handle and the Z28 on the lid

So when are we going to advance to step two?

Oh trust me, it's on the list of things to do. I have already had it deleted from the computer. I want a nice custom block-off plate though.

Your car is looking better and better every time.

What do you guys use to buff the paint under the hood, especially the shock towers? I started to use 3M compound and a rag. PIA
Did you guys use a buffer and what size pad?

Thanks. Have you seen it before or something?

I've never buffed the paint there. It is bare paint with no clear coat. I just keep it clean.

Well, when your car has 120,000 miles, the paint is pretty well dulled to the point that it looks like primer. I am sure someone on this site has done it.
