Snapped a few after putting on a coat of paint sealant (Wolfgang 3.0) . It was overcast today but what do you think?

I really like your hood and stripes. I dig the CE wheels on the red too, don't think I've seen that combo before. Have you considered striping the roof and trunk also? Time to lower that bad boy too. Regardless, beautiful shine!

Thanks for the comments. I have the full set of stripes but really was just interested in highlighting the MCM hood. I knew someone would tell me to lower that 4 x 4. I almost did so a few months ago when I helped a friend lower his 02.

Thanks, the folks over at autogeek have helped me a lot so far as what to use for minor paint correction and how to care for the paint. If you have never been to the car care section of this forum you need to pay them a visit. Thanks again.

Thanks I think the Z06 wheel is a classic especially when polished not to crazy about chrome. Ranks up there with the number one wheel in my opinion the 60's rally wheel with any cap of your choice.

Default Question?

How do you respond to multiple quotes at one time so I don't have to do each one seperately. I have seen this done but can't figure out how to do it. Anybody know? Thanks!
