btw, why matte the front bumpre, future plans or is that the final result?

red stripe is back on?

its only matte about every 2-3 weeks..

nah its a pic right before i pulled the stripe off.
the export tails and bumper are off the SS. And the hatch is coming off thursday.

some sort of cleaning product that hazes it?

Clear bra...

dupli-color clear temporary spray on bra to be exact lol

Dupli-color Shield.

For when i drive the 5 hours from NY to NJ, or back, the bugs are horrible and really beat up the front bumper.
With this spray on protection, it takes the brunt of the abuse and then just easily washes off.
I spray it on before the trip and remove it once i get to my destination.

my clear bra didnt look like that during install

actually kinda like it like that haha

1. Why is there a bunch of stuff on that Vette?
2. The V looks really really good.
3. You never told me on the feel of it. Top gear said it felt cheap does it?

1. The vette is/was an old project which is slowly getting parted out
2. Thank you, I just need to do clears up front.
3. It is still the 1st gen CTS, which isn't a "high-end" car but definitely feels good and a blast to drive. Better than my old 95 STS.

Thanks for replying man! Also thats a bad azz idea of switching the front ends. Good luck!

Heres with the new HID fogs installed...


...and I will be trying to buy the Jag s-type to the left in the pic...lol
