Upload them to the gallery on here and then just host them from your gallery. Actually, just upload them to the site gallery and I WILL host them for you, lol.

Per his original post, it appears he purchased headlight covers.

I do it, I like seeing the water bead up and the outside feeling smooth

Also drive a lot, makes bugs/debris easier to clean off the front bumper.

You cant be serious lol. Wax isnt just for looks, its also to protect the paint. From the factory there is nothing protecting it besides the clear coat.

Because brand new OEM paint from most car manufactures leaves much to be desired and needs paint correction from day 1 . Rail dust , acid rain , general road debris , pollen , dust ect ect from delivery on a carrier , sitting in maufacturer lots , sitting in dealer lots doesnt allow your paint to look as good as it could . Even though it might "look" great .

Claybar+light compound+pure polish+wax will take the factory paint to a whole nother level and protect it from day one .

Nice new TC to the OP , they look so good in black .

to remove the bowtie on the back I used some fishing line and a hair dryer. The hair dryer made it easier to use the fishing line (gotta use braided line, monofilament won't work). i was able to get most the adhesive this way. I used goo gone to get the rest of the adhesive off but i will admit i had a lot of scratches in my clear coat. I used a 10'' buffer and some good wax and got it to look damn near good as new. My friend later bought a real heat gun in spite of me.

that mustang is a 2005 v6 convertible, my friend purchased the X-charger and its due for delivery this Thursday

the wax i used is 3M wax from wal-mart with a 10'' buffer
