Robyn, instead of getting the molding put on, you should think about taking the other molding off.

It's a very sleek look that the 05's came with.

Also she looks very good

Mike, on my car there are two guide holes at the beginning and ends of the molding that the molding clipped onto a little rubber nipple like thingie. If I were to take the molding off, there would be those holes on my door and on the other quarter panel. BELIEVE ME I was thinking about it.... but I don't want to have to fill the other holes with body putty and finish them off with paint and clear.

For spraybomb, it looks DAMN good.... he only uses duplicolor spraybombs with a high paintflow... to make it look good, my dad said all you gotta do is get it REALLY WET with paint, not so much that it runs, but enough that it COVERS, and let it dry. He rubbed her out some more the clearcoat was hazing a bit on the edges as you can see... she shines like a new penny now. I'm going to go get an oil change FINALLY and maybe wash and polish her (probably not polish, I dont want the clearcoat to gum up and absorb any of the polish) but my dad bought me a random orbital polisher from blackndecker with a lambskin pad... my god it's a 400 dollar orbital polisher.

PICTURES OF HIS SS Are soon to come! It's going to the transmission shop (same one that did my car) And I THINK he's going to keep it...

I highly doubt Black and Decker makes a $400 random orbital polisher
