Definitely not. I've wanted those exact wheels since I bought my Z over 4 years ago.

I bet StuLax would know. He's in Cali now, but may know someone in the DFW area.

These are a few guys I've read about, and researched for the DFW area.

Jeff at http://www.ottmanndetailing.com/index.html

Nick at http://www.nickscustomdetailing.com (I've personally used him recently, very nice guy and does good work)

Brian at http://www.detailwerkz.com/mobile.html

Get ready to spend some money..it's not cheap if you're doing a paint correction / removing all the scratches and swirls.

Also some of those guys will most likely be booked up since they are popular. A lot are booked up a few weeks in advance before they can schedule you in.

I know Stu work on a few guys on here before..but I think he's back in Cali for school right now.

Mackie as well but I haven't seen him post here recently.

Well it still looks the same, but I've made some upgrades. OEM Brembos, Koni sport shocks, adjustable end links from Jason, better tires, and just bought some RPF1s (not mounted yet).

I was satisfied with the work he provided. I paid to mainly get the buffer trails that the shop left all over the car. He did a 1 step polish which removed all the buffer trails, and I'd say about 60%-80% of the swirls/scratches. I did not want him to get 100% of all the swirls/scratches removed because it would take a lot more time, work, and of course $$$$$. I'm going to buy my own stuff in the feature to take care of the rest. It's no lie..black cars are a pain in the butt to keep clean/fresh especially with someone like my OCD self. I still love it.

Mike that picture is hilarious! It looks like koolaid man is bout to dump dem koolaidz alll over your car
