Damn black cars are sweet. Great job on the cleaning.

I had fun with the game of "find the photographer in the reflection" in each of them! HAHAHA

Sweet car, nice job.

Very clean. Nice looking NBP. One thing I would do, is to re-tint the small back windows. Looks like they didn't apply the film all the way to the edges. Congrats on your sweet ride.

Welcome to the club! Nice ride. Love the color combo!
What size tires are those? The sidewall looks a little taller than usual.

thanks for the compliments!

the door jams have since been cleaned, and dressing applied to the tires.

the tint is actually applied all the way to the edges, just looks funny from that angle i guess.

and btw... the girl in the background just turned 13 yesterday. lol

welcome to the NBP Type-S fam...you will love it. Those look like Kumho ASX tires right? You will love those too, just finished up my 2nd set...the type-s unevenly wears out the rears so keep rotating. Cleaning is a biAtch but it looks amazing when its shiny as well as under a bright light at night. How many miles did u get it with?

Izzy-Type-S,
Yes, I am loving the Type-S, have had it for about 8 months so far. It was vandalized about a month after I got it (slashed tires and keyed the side), so I had to replace all the tires. I do have the Kuhmo ASX and they are great. And the rears do seem to wear unevenly so I try to rotate every 3k-4k miles. Unfortunately, the dealer said they can't adjust that. I got it with 14K miles, and just hit 22500.

Nice man, thats cool. Mine had the passanger window shattered and my Passpor Escort radar was stolen along with a $200 pair of Armani sun glasses...oh well. Well you & I have the same year & color Type-S so keep in touch. I have the ATLP quad exhaust version 2 on order to be installed maybe mid March. No other mods yet besides little things I've listed...I need to take more pics but our weather sucks right now.

Forgot to ask...the tints in the pics are the 35% right? I think thats what I'm gonna be doing soon but was undecided about 35 or 50 since I just want a subtle look but I think your pics just made me want 35%. Forgot to say I got mine in October 2008 with 4k miles on it and I now have 39k! Yeah I drive allot, I'm a realtor & also have taken 2 big road trips in it.

Get rid of those spider webs in the paint! Remember to always wash and dry in a horizontal motion, never in circles. Get that "wax on wax off" idea out of your head.
Oh, and welcome to the never-ending plight to keep our NBPs clean.

Actually, it is wash up and down on vertical panels and side to side on horizontal panels.
