Well, A friend I work with has been hassling me to put my car in a car show, I tell him it isn't good enough but he paid for my entrance fee so I went it. Yesterday I clay bar'd the car and waxed and I'm amazed at how smooth the paint is and how it shines now, thanks to SRT Handz and his great detailing tips, really helped me out! Anyways here's a few pics!

After clay bar/wax treatment, again, if you were ever hesitant to do this, go for it! Just make sure you have 3 or more free hours to spare, it takes A LOT of time.

This is the guy from work, this car is amazing, such a beautiful cruiser, he took me for a ride one day, makes me want to build up an old car now :p.

When I get money again lol. I start full time at the dealership July 5th, BUT I also owe $700 in parts already and I want to buy a newer winter vehicle, looking at a 2002-2006 escape 4x4. I thought about it, but I have seen pics and I dont like the bumper part black. Trust me, I want it lower just as much as you guys, kind of sucks sitting 4x4, but I do Daily drive this thing :).

Dunno, it was more of a show and shine fundraiser thing, I entered for fun so I have no idea how I did lol. It was put on by the Ford/Mercury club here, but all makes were welcome. There were a ton of nice old restored cars, T-birds,galaxies, mustangs etc. So I wasn't in the win.

haha that's actually the competitor's Ford dealership in the city, I work at the SVT certified dealer, so the better one :p. But the cars behind mine were not in the show, those are for sale at that dealership.

Yeah its hard competing with brand new mustangs that pricks will buy and leave the window sticker on while the register for entry. I went to a show a couple weeks ago and it was a top 50 show. I was pretty confident i could squeeze a top 50 win but i knew it would be a push with all makes and models. So it turns out 75 percent of cars that placed in the 50 were actually 05-10 models. Dissapointing that no one appreciates the beauty of a sn95 anymore.

Just cut your damn springs or something...anything would look better than the stance of your car right now. Also, your hood/bumper gap seems kinda messed up...

Not ragging on the car, I love it...just giving you some tough love to get you to make it better! :thumbsup:

Where did you get ur cobras? Its hard to find the ones with the black inserts.

Haha that's alright, I'm getting coilovers probably next month and bullitt springs for the rear. As for the hood, I unforunately got a crappy quality hood and the fitment sucks, and that's the result. I just got use to it after awhile, but I wish I could do something about it but I can't. As for the cobra's. I got them from AFS wheels about 2 years ago, I don't think they make the black insert ones anymore :(.

your car looks really good but it NEEDS a drop asap. Also I think you should do the bumper part around the horse in black to flow with the hood. Other than that it's sharp.
