Did some work today. 07 KBP Type S high quality pics!

Nothing else to do on one of my days off so I decided to give the Type S a cleanin. The car is pretty much always clean but this time I decided to pull the wheels off and do the wheel wells, calipers, and inside of the wheels.
Here are a couple pictures taken with the Canon DSLR. Hope you like them.

The tint is 35% which I had done only a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the comments.

Yeah I know those Brembo's sure dust a lot. I figure though its always good to keep the inside of the wheels clean every now and then because otherwise they will start to corrode in there to the point where the inside of your wheels are permanantly messed up.

ya, I typically dont like type-s's because of the wheels for one thing, but yours does look very nice with that blue paint. However, I did notice some orange peel on your rear trunk around the type-s emblem.

Also I commend you for not being dumb enough to cover your license plate for the camera.

KBP is always one of those colours you don't think about when buying a car, but always think to yourself "Why didn't I get that colour" afterwards... Looks clean!

Well, the car has never been wet sanded so ofcourse there is gonna be orange peel. Every car in this world comes off the assembly line with orange peel in the clear coat (except for super high end cars where they actually wet sand them).
Plus I dont have the balls to wet sand my car and its a LOT of work.

^ I dont blame you, if my car was brandnew from the dealer and the paint had nothing wrong with it other then minor orange peel id leave it alone, well take care of it of course but no way would I wet sand it! LOL.
