Default The AFTER Detail Pics of my white "Superhawk" TA

Most of you remember the before pics I posted of the white TA I bought last week:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...-but-whos.html

Well here are some AFTERS....and they just dont do the car justice. Changes I made include taking the moldings, stickers and LOTB badge off, chrome lug nut covers, VHTed the taillight, replace the front seat backs, swapped the red wire loom for black, repainted the calipers and re-did the hood vents. It turned out great IMO.





























And dont forget the most important pic (but its probably already sold!)

Detailing steps were:
Wash with Dawn
Clay Bar
Wash With Dawn
Poor Boys 1 Swirl Remover with Yellow Pad
Poor Boys 2 Swirl Remover with Orange Pad
Poor Boys 3 Swirl Remover with White Pad
Zaino Fusion with White Pad
Zaino All in One with Blue Pad
Zaino Show Car Polisn by hand

Some SHORT videos of it! lol










And I know it would look better lowered...but we will let the knoew owner decide on that. Some people will not even consider a lowered car...so lowering it while make it look better would actually make it harder to sell.

The car has 94,000 miles and is a 6spd.


I have to meet a guy with it tomorrow that plans to buy it...if something falls through I will post it for sale in the classifieds with an asking price.

Did you get the hood recently or is it an old one. I've been searching for one of those for a while.

I just put a order in for Longtubes, 3in y pipe, Electric cutout, Block off plates to remove all the air and egr. And I'm going to go pick up a Ls6 intake from gulfport if the guy still has it. I would do everything in alot slower fashion, one by one but I want to have a few things done to it for cruising the coast. Hopefully all my parts will be in before the end of the month. I'll keep you posted on my progress and what I do to it. First thing will be a ceta mod lol
