Looks so beautiful, and every time I see those rims I fall more and more in love with them.

The production of it is killing me. I think the frequency response of my vid cam's microphone is great, but you really have to have some nice speakers with a subwoofer to hear the tone right, especially now that I have the two high-flow resonators feeding an OEM muffler. It's SO low now with ZERO resonance in the cabin. And dumping the Magnaflow really improved the pep, while improving the sound. I think this could be the ideal 2ES exhaust setup - custom and high-flow all the way back to an OEM muffler to keep it respectable.

Wow, thanks, Tortoise! I take that as a huge compliment.

we've actually got a white camry that's going up on the sale block shortly- how's straight caranuba look on that white finish? have you tried it?
Thanks so much, Powerwave! I've not tried straight carnuba on white in about 15 years (gawd, has it been that loooong ago?!?) With the Zaino process of clay bar, the Z1, Z5 and then Z2 results, I've never looked back. And the more times you add Z2, the deeper it looks. I'm a Zaino addict.

Thanks so much BadViper22!! My SC's 5-spokes are truly quicker to clean, but I just love the mesh. And I think, other than OEM, it's one of the few ways to keep the "Dresser" (borrowing a little lingo from my Harley-Davidson bros) look of the ES.

Thanks so much Avidstarr! Maniax is right on. It took a bit of work. She'd not been abused - barely neglected; but it took Zaino to resurrect the paint. I have to give 3/4 credit to the Zaino and 1/4 credit to obsessive-compulsive disorder. Combine those and you've got a sparkling car.
