The title says polishing the "Lex". WHICH ONE?! :eek2:
All three....which is why I'm so tired. I have to wash the wife's Tundra tomorrow if it doesn't rain.....hoping for rain.... :smiley-rofl:
Can we expect a color change? :biggthumpup:
Wow pretty sick collection you have there. Props to you!
Bling blingin! Very nice collection sir.
Thanks.....washed the wife's truck today and now I need a beer ! The GS will get a facelift but I'm not going to do a color change.....unless someone can talk me into it. Too much trouble and not looking to tear another car completely apart !!!!
One word, excellence!!!

[QUOTE=actolex;492623]I'm not going to do a color change.....unless someone can talk me into it. [/QUOTE] OK. Then...... Let me give it a shot and be that someone. As a painter I am well aware of the fact that glacier frost mica is an already rare color. I am also aware of the fact that being a 3 stage formula gives it a somewhat exotic appeal. However the fact remains,,,, Its a stock color. Bone stock. Stock as hell.Stocker than the armpit end of a shotgun. Anyone can buy a kit slap on some wheels and call a car custom, But unfortunately you have already set the bar so high with your SC that the vip community will expect nothing less than a full-on balls-to-the-walls-custom-kit-sick-wheels-audio-blasting-luxurious-interiored-vip-machine DRIPPING with A [SIZE=5]CUSTOM PAINTJOB!!!!!!![SIZE=2] Im sorry but you have done this to yourself. Leave no elements of stock unturned. We know you got it, Ball out!!! Thats all I have to say, The choice is yours. But let me leave you with three words,,,, Ford Ginger Ale may the force be with you................[/SIZE][/SIZE]

I don't have the time or patience to pull another car completely apart again to do a color change, especially since the GS is not a show car and I'm just changing it up a little for myself. Now if you're a painter, maybe I can send the car to you and let's see what you come up with.... :biggthumpup:
You might regret leaving your car in my hands. I have a pretty unusual taste in colors. But seriously Im dying to see a vip car in Ford ginger ale. Maybe Ill just have to paint my car that color.
sick SC...

[QUOTE=BAHC;506523]im really late to see this but omg, i like it so much. way better than the previous iteration, imo[/QUOTE] Thanks!! I agree.....got bored with the older look and wanted to change it up and also learn about working with fiberglass. We made a lot of changes to the front and rear bumpers that came out exactly how we wanted. The rear we added the brake lights above the exhaust cutouts and reconfigured the cutouts to fit the AMG exhaust.
