looks good, but the gaps on the front bumper look a little big and he really needs to finish it with JP grill and tails.

Very nice, clean and classy. For shows nowadays, cars have definitely got to be roped off to prevent all the scratches and fingerprints, and people just messing with your car in general. Still gotta watch them tho, cuz people will still ignore the ropes. That's a great looking venue, and really makes for an awesome photo shoot. Pics came out great of a great looking car!!!

Have you guys noticed it yet?

This is a daily driven car...look closely at the bumper, you'll be hard pressed to find even a single rock chip...oh and another thing, there's no clear-bra either

Yeah, Ling's benzo is one of the cleanest out there!


We sprayed the whole kit with a product called 'Never-Chip' - it's a spray on paint protection product that doubles as a clear coat.

very interesting. is that some kind of "soft" clear coat then? if it's just another coat of clear coat, i think it will still chip?

Soft wouldn't be the word I would use to describe, more like flexible.

Definitely, I brought up the rope idea with Joe at Group5 because I saw some guys up at the LA Autoshow just walk up to a Bentley and sat down like it was an open invitation. The few hours I was at the SD Autoshow I must have seen the guys at the G5 booth tell numerous groups of people to GTFO of the roped area. Amazing...
