Default Cleaned my car

I spent a lot of time getting my car cleaned and figured I'd throw up some pictures for the hell of it (Plus I love the way the W7 looks with the hatch open). I haven't done much to the car yet besides a popcharger, stereo system and hard wired Escort 8500, but I'm looking forward to getting some wheels and the Bassani exhaust next spring.

Thanks for all the positive responses! I'm holding off for next spring to do more work. I hear great things about the Bassani.

I used some Turtle wax I had lying around. I bought a combination of Rainex and window cleaner that does a great job on the glass. Eagle one tire shine maybe? I do touch up every day or so with Meguires quick detail spray. I should buy a clay bar at some point. I've never tried to use one so I'd like to see how much of a difference it would make on my Z.
