PICS Buddy's CL-S accident and new muffler pics.
I spent a few hours cleaning up a set of new/used Thermal R&D mufflers for my buddy's CL-S which should be out of the body shop in the next week or so. He currently doesn't have a cardomain site, so I thought I'd add the pics to mine. Check out the pics and let me know what you guys think.

Like $4 at AutoZone. Worked wonders. Can be used on all metal surfaces.

Well 5 months after Auchbach got the car, its still being worked on.
Notice the Ferrari and BMW in the background.
They were waiting on some part from Acura for over 6 weeks alone.
His mufflers are collecting a lot of dust waiting for his car to be done.

Well, 8 1/2 months to the day he dropped the car off, we picked it up. After $14k+ worth of damage, you can't even tell that it was in an accident. He's actually forgotten just how powerful the car is, so it kinda surprised him at first.

Apparently there were quite a few parts that were on back order from Acura for quite some time. Also, this is a really busy shop that isn't too large, but they do really good work. Typical cars on the lot are BMW's, Audi's, Benz, Ferrari's, Porsche's, etc.

Sorry guys, there were a few that asked which product I used on the mufflers and the image was removed from the thread. Here it is, Eagle One Mag & Aluminum Polish.
