still debating if i should get it, worried about the scuffs and scratches
Honestly I dont trust that guy who sold it to me. Do me a favor email him and ask him about the scratches etc. I really drilled him good about it. Just see what he says. Do not pay over 180 with shipping bro.

i was REALLY close to buying it when he was selling it for 150/180 + shipping, which would make it around $310. but im a bit skeptical about it with the scratches and stuff....


would you mind taking some pics that shows the scratches more if you have time? thanks bro

Clayed the car end of October. What do you recommend polish wise? Thinking about getting progressive rsb and color matching door handles for next steps.

rsb and color matching door handles are a must in my book, well as far as wheels since I failed on getting the meisters maybe you should ,but so many choices out there it will depend on what you like and what you can afford,some polish work vs or rotiform sjc game over

Both these things are on my list.

Polish depends on how bad the paint is and if you're willing to put in the hours and days needed to do it. If not, take it somewhere nice. If you do want to do it, invest in either a griots or porter cable DA. Pads, and the polish depends on preference plus what you need done, heavy swirls, just some slight swirling. Also def invest in proper washing materials like mitt and buckets with grit guard. Check out our wash and wax section, it's pretty good

Did you have to use any extra sealant to reseal lights back up?
What are you using for indicator bulbs now?

^ I did a projector retrofit in my truck and I bought some extra sealant, since most of the goop stayed on the screwdriver I used to pry the headlights apart.

For indicator bulbs with no amber reflectors you're probably best off with switchback LEDs.

Grigio09 - for polishing a dual orbital buffer, pads, polishing compound, and wax/sealant is essential.

Just curious...would that E60 Roof spoiler fit for the 12 TL? I've been looking for that spoiler because of the intrude center piece for the 3rd brake light. I don't want those M3 style type. Thanks!

^ Thanks for the info. Problem meaning gaps or the curvature of the spoiler? I would want to try to test fit it because I really like the E60 roof spoiler. I need to find some local shop to see if they have one in stock so I can try to test fit it first.

Thanks
