    the evidence of my 1337 driving skills has now been erased. i will post up soem pics tommorow, before and after.

    before. a front shot it shows just how far the fender was pushed in. i would have put more pics up but i am pressed for the 40 pics.

    heres the after. looks really nice. too bad its shinier than the rest of my car. soon i will remove the pin striping so it matches.

    Okay!

    I have a hater mark on my passsenger fender. I was wondering how difficult it is to replace it with a new one?

    new fender? it isnt too bad. you need to pull out the fender liner to do it right. there are some tight places in there that are hard to get at. when i did it it took me awhile. when i had my new one put on it took maybe 50 min.

    it looks a bit darker, I think the rest of the car is faded, and the new fender is factory paint. but you have to look REALLY close to tell. looks great martin.

    yeah, i like the way it looks. i think that with a good buff job the rest of the car will look like that. being the car is 10yrs old and so it the paint. also i think this car came from new mexico or some other southern state before i had it. so fade could be pretty bad.

    when people detail cars, do tehy normally buff it? or is that extra?

    a good wax will go a long way in making paint look good, look at my car, its been years since i buffed it, but i wax it more then ide like to say :D
