Great correction Phil. Love those STI's.

What did you use on the exhaust tips? I didn't see it on your website?

I was amazed that you were able to get that scratch from the right front completely off. Nice

Sonax chrome and alupaste, there's a picture of it with the exhaust tip picture.

I would also be curious as to what a detail like this would run? Please?

And that scratch removal was incredibly impressive!
