Default some random new pics of the sc430 - stage1.5 done

so we are not quite stage 2 yet. still missing something but i will keep quiet on that. however we were able to squeeze in the stoptech 14" brake kits on the car before the famous EOS4 meet this yr in norcal forum. we did manage to did a full detailing for the car on sat as well. wash, clay, full polish, 3 coats of wax, and final polishing. here are some pics:









and i also joined the "soarer" club

haha yeah that's the blue masking tape. typical way to protect the front of the car when rolling long distance. just get the 2" roll and you are set! i forgot how long they aer, but usually a roll should be enough.

i also got a thinner roll to cover all the slats on the grille, etc...

He does have clearbra. He said somewhere that the tape is more to protect against the overwhelming bug splatter on the trip. Peeling and thowing away is an easy cleaning procedure after a trip.

You should have. It would have been nice to see the car in person (and you too of course ).

Pics don't do the car justice.

LOL. I am not making fun of your photography skills, Henry. The car just looks awesome in person.
