Default Wet sanded and buffed ; PICS ;
Had some time on my hands today so I decided to get rid of some factory orange peel. Used 2500 and wet sanded lightly then buffed with 3m 3 step. You can get the effect from the hood photo.
Also made myself a plenium cover I thought I'd share.

that hood looks awesome... fits well with the rest of the body

I don't get the mod list on the engine cover, but maybe it's a car show thing.

Really..? Orange peel? Picture doesn't do the car justice.
Oh BTW, did you see the picture of your car in Blue Bars? Pg 29

Really like the diffuser and exhaust outlet set-up.

Your handy work on the plenum cover is quite impressive.
