Looks good to me. My paint job is old and faded and it still looks like a million bucks until you see it in person. Your looks great so what's the problem aside from;

1. no rear emblem
2. smear on right rear fender
3. rear bumper split :jester

Tried to get pics of the problem areas....they dont really show the bubbles and the repair showing through...I`ll try again later..
Thanks for all the great compliments though!!
As far as the rear bumper split.....no matter how much I rubbed...I couldn`t get it to go away!!! :D
