 Re: removed middle perch koni coils
Definitely gonna have to hit up Reflective Touch this summer. Just washed and waxed the car last weekend and can still see the swirls! Used Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 Paste, too! Of course, I didn't use the clay bar....

You need multiple polishes and abrasive pads to re-level the clear coat. Tech wax leaves an awesome shine, but unfortunately it doesn't last very long and doesn't hide imperfections. Thats where i come in. I made a explanation of each process in a thread in the detailing section, it can help you understand each step a little better.

 Re: removed middle perch koni coils
Nice fit; low, but still sporty and functional. good choice on wheels and tire profile. Noticing two different tread patterns, what tires you running?
