BigDutch · Post by **BigDutch** » Thu May 21, 2009 8:25 am

Just took some new shots of the car:

Whats Different? Retro R/T badge & side mouldings removed

Thanks for looking!

Also, Does anyone have any solutions to the ghosts from the side mouldings?

Its been 3 weeks and 3 waxes since I took them off and they have only faded mayby 10%

Wow, I really like your car. The wheel color and retro badges really set it off. Well done!

Try some fine compound and see if you can compound them out, then buy some Turtle Wax Black and that should help hide them a bit more. Your car looks clean as hell I absolutely love the badges. Very nice

Looks really good!

My only real complaint is the placement of the R/T badges. With the side molding on it's not a big deal since it looks like it's stitting ontop of something... but without its just looks like the badge is stitting out in the middle of no where all alone.

Maybe it's just me...

Diablo, Thanks for the comments, I placed them there b/c of the side moldings. Just incase I cannot get the Ghost off, I am going to put them back on.

LSP, Thanks I am going to try something like that, do you have anything in mind that might do the trick? Also, can it be done by hand? I do not have a polisher

Wow, I absolutely love it.

Pict 3 is awesome, looks like a tree is growing out of the car.

Its been 3 weeks and 3 waxes since

Damn!

I guess you got to do that with a black car. hehe

Very nice clean car man. I'm drooling. Good luck with the ghosting....

They do make fine compounds that you can use by hand, the Meguiar's line has a few along with Mother's. You can get them at any auto parts store for the most part. It just requires a hell of a lot more elbow grease to get it done.

hood looks great. matches up nice with the 01 bumper.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Tue Jun 02, 2009 1:05 pm

Because your car's black you can hardly notice the gap at all. It looks great

I placed third at Canadian Neon Nationals this weekend in the Mild Class.

beautiful car.. i like it.. very clean

supertrick_05 · Post by **supertrick_05** » Tue Jun 09, 2009 11:24 am

Oh boy...all that blue under the hood just sticks out like a sore thumb. Not my cup-o-tea, but if you like it, that's all that matters.

Passt · Post by **Passt** » Tue Jun 09, 2009 11:29 am

I love it dude.

JeffM · Post by **JeffM** » Tue Jun 09, 2009 11:49 am

The car looks great! Although, I would consider tucking those lines. They stick out way too much and take away from the beautiful, clean engine.

BigDutch · Post by **BigDutch** » Tue Jun 09, 2009 11:52 am

Ive got some plans for thoes lines, I just need to get another stock TB to get it done!

But thanks for the comments!

Wow car looks good man.

I don't really know if I like how SRT hoods look on non-SRT's though. I thought I would.
