    The headers look really nice. Are they the same primary diameter as the stock headers?

    The headers look gorgeous, but I would definitely agree to put some kind of heat shielding in there somewhere, and try to stay away from traffic (the engine compartment gets VERY hot at idle for long periods).

    Excellent job - best of luck!

    Geno, those look great, very nice job!

    I've got a pair in the box waiting to be installed over the winter as well. Can't wait to here how you like them on the road!

    Thanks Steve,

    I use both a rotary and a random orbital. On Geno's car, I've actually got 2 R/O's and a rotary that are all being used as I work my way around the vehicle.

    It all depends on the car, the paint type, the condition, the type(s) of polish being used, the amount of correction desired, and the amount of polishing steps required...all of these factor into the decision of which machine(s) to use. The main keys however are always paint/clear coat preservation and maximizing results for the level that the owner wishes to take the vehicle to.

    If you've got any specific questions, please don't hesitate to send me a PM.

    Geno's car is turning out fantastic, and I'm pretty confident that he'll be falling in love with it all over again! :) Having said that though, I still have to break the horse as it took a significant bite out of my finger yesterday!

    That is amazing! These are pics with the same paint? I have a black 355 that I am trying to clean up. Any leads on people in Northern Calif that can do this type of work?

    Leather work and other interior pics look great. Congratulations!
