I could go either way on matte black...on the one hand, there are cars that look like they're related to the BatMobile. on the other hand, there are cars that make people ask "nice job with the primer, what color are you going to paint it?"

I hate to say it, but with your cameraphone, I can't tell which one your car is! We'll just assume it's great and pat you on the back :D

I saw the swirls on the hood and thought you'd gone crazy with wet-sanding with too low a grit.

Glad it's just wax.

THANK GOODNESS. I was just being nice earlier...There are only half a dozen Gen 1's who have attempted this, and as a general rule they come out looking like crap.

WHEW. You got me good!

Nice one.
