Collinite 845 is awesome wax. I put a spray nozzle on my bottle and heat it up in a pot of hot water until it liquefies. Shake the bottle well and spritz my panels for easy application!

Did you buff out all the wax on the driver side, or are those swirls?

Missed a spot on my door, was too hot today to go over each panel with a fine tooth comb, hit 111. Love how long collinite protects., less is more for sure.

Nice looking C5!
I have those same DRLs, love them.

One question... why is your center air dam piece lifted so high?

Where did you get the LED strip, I have not been able to find one that thin.

Thanks, The center air bridge is the duck bill that I believe came with the supercharger.

It came with the headlights when I bought them, radioflyer doesn't offer the lightbar any longer. I have an extra set of shrouds am planning on replacing the led strip with some better quality sequential switchback leds from theretrofitsource. Going to do switchbacks on the halos as well.
