Thank you the kind words.

I was telling SilliG during the shoot how I have no eye for this sort of thing, can't take a good pic worth a damn, and I just want to point out how this is borne out by the (individual) choice of pics - the pics I chose vs the pics SilliG chose. His look SO much better.

I don't think a OEM off the showroom floor car would look this clean.

Nice.

We do our best. Even the BR FMIC was painted to look like stock.

This being said, the car is almost stock: The aforementioned FMIC, MBC, TBE w/HFC for engine mods, a set of F/R anti-swaybars, factory Bilstein suspension, ~30 less rotational mass, a trunk cage, and ~15lbs of audio gear. Every effort was made to retain as many factory parts as possible. 3260lbs with a full tank.

A little more than 21K, third set of tires and brake pads. I like a clean car and I always admired cars that looked, well, like mine, but never had one. I thought that a car simply couldn't look like that if it were driven in an enthusiastic manner, plus, what kind of a pussyass Prince of Polish spends his time caring about something like this? Then, one day, I saw an absolutely stunning machine glistening in the sun. The car was ~15 years old and it looked like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Damn, I wanted to have a car like that, too, so I came home, fired up the Internet and started learning. True story.
