Congrats. Looks great.

Too bad it has a front tag on it.

NJ requires a front tag too, but I don't.

Yes. And that's good your getting it detailed. If we see you take that car to a car wash we will have to boot you....lol...Vettes don't go to car washes lol.....we do them ourselves...and love it...

Yes looks great, get that plate mounted below, it looks silly there...

Marvc - yes , you pics uploaded. Looks great.

does your dad need to adopt another son ?

Claying is a good thing if done correctly. But why not read up in the car care section here and do it yourslef, then follow up with some Zaino.....

Great way to bond with the car.

It's a way to bump a thread to the top of the page.

Some people will also just post "BUMP". Same idea.

Please remove all windshield stickers and front license plate immediately. Find a hot girl to stand next to vehicle. Then retake photos and repost.

Dude, you don't have a Toyota no more....you have an icon sports car.... it's small enough to where you can do a little at a time, wash it even once every 6 months if you put a coat of zaino on it and just spray wipe it down every so often. You will enjoy how awesome it looks -

Need for speed- hahah I think he is done having kids but if he's looking for one you'll be the first one to know!

Yeah that's a good point. I kept hearing about this zaino not knowing exactly what it was.

What do you mean mount it underneath is there something I need to purchase to do that?

Thx for all the tips. More the merrier!

We are getting off topic, but I do detail it every now and then. But I hate it. My buddies spend hours EVERY weekend detailing theirs.

I have better things to do. Like driving the hell out of it.

Hahaha yeah A friend of mines dad owned an 04 vette and I he owned it about 3 years before selling it and all he did was wax it start it up look at it a while...then cover it back up and put it in the garage....I didn't get it either lol. But I absolutely can't wait to see it that first time after it's fully detailed. Will be a very good day.
