That car is so clean man.. What a transformation!!

So did you wet sand/polish the whole door? Or just the spots with scratches? Also, did you do any waxes or sealants over the car?

Figured out the misfire at 23psi... it was shitty NGK plugs. I put delcos back in and it runs perfect now. Just ironing out the tune.

Got Powell v3, stage 1 maps, and hawk HPS pads/rotors for the front. Should have that done this week.

maybe black friday ill get the ZZP catback/dp!

Next time you wet sand, The window mouldings are held on with one screw inside the door jamb, and they slide straight up.

I got LED tail lights for the car too. No resistor in the box so I'm waiting the resistors in the mail before installing. You'll get more pictures then! Also, needs a real bath.

RF wheel still a little bent... it took 6 ounces of weight on the machine and it's got a wobble. Trying to find a new straight one.

Were the scratches bad enough on your car that it really required wet sanding and couldn't be taken down with a buffing compound and some polishing? Wet sanding should probably be followed up with more clear coat since you could have taken quite a bit off.
