And finally, those reflections everyone loves!

My favorite one..reflection of the hornblasters truck in the rear 1/4 panel.
















If you cant tell what this is, its the rear deck/wing..

Great job!

Funny thing is that I'm currently working on my brother's black g35 as well. It was in the almost the same if not the same shape as this one. First time with the portercable too. So far I've worked on it for about 12 hours with breaks but I don't think I can get the same results as you.

Damn Billy!!! Looks sharp Bro! I really hate winters here where I live.

You need to try out a couple sealants man. That car needs some Werkstat AJT on it.
Some nice reflections on that black. Black is the hardest to keep up, but when detailed, shows the best reflections.
