sweet pics!
Wish you were in IL, I'm getting the Saab detailed tomorrow, who knows what kind of job will be done, but certainly not as good as you guys do :thumbup:

I'm interested. Any ideas on when and where?

I'm interested as well. Although, CT may be too far for me...

Phil: I'm purchasing the 4.6 rear & front bumper soon for my 3.0. Once I receive it I will then get it painted then wait till early spring (If I can wait that long) to put it on.

Do you advise a good detail before or after the new bumpers get put on? Or both?
Maybe it does not matter...I was just assuming since the bumpers will be freshly painted and my car obviously is not...
On top of that winters can be harsh on paint.

Thx!

cmyx5go, it will be in NJ once I kick this cold....it will be in Nov, it will be inside, just working out some details :)

blackbeauty, I would ask the bodyshop that you are painting the bumpers with what you can do to the bumpers after you get them painted. Its always a good idea to keep your paint on the car protected that won't affect anything on the bumpers.

yeah, the bumpers will be stored for at least a month or two before they go on. i don't want to put them on my X in the middle of the winter, yk?

I'm in for one, and possibly 2..

Definitely the wife's E46 Vert
Possibly my 06X5

Thanks Phil

How about this Sunday the 18th, I have a window tint guy and a clear bra installer in hand.

Let me know how many of you are good for this date and I can start filling in the list. Depending on what people choose I can figure 8-10 cars.

Let me know.

Phil

Count me in. I'll do the standard exterior plus the interior wipe down and leather clean/condition.
