    1st wax ever, decent pictures!

    Waxed the Cobra for the first time since it has been painted, so decided to finally go take some pictures of it in a local church parking lot. They didn't come out too too bad I guess? Let me know what everyone thinks good or bad. Oh, and click to open them a bit bigger. I had to make these a bit smaller since they were taken in 3000x2000 and were over 1MB a piece before.

    Looks awesome Steve Only thing I'd change would be the calipers. The stock calipers look kinda out of place on a car with so much paint work done

    Thanks Ray. Yea I know, the calipers really bother me too, I just can't decide what color to paint them/what to do with them. At least they are clean I guess.

    May I vote? The car is a dark red, go red. Blue or yellow would look gehy!

    I was thinking either red, or black, and polishing the "cobra" letters on the calipers.

    I've got mine black with the cobra letters "polished"(sanded the paint off with a sanding block, lol) Looks a lot better and only took about 15 minutes. Sorta makes it look like a brembo caliper actually. I just used regular spray paint, nothing high temp or anything, and it's holding up pretty well. If it ever fades it'll be easy enough to add another coat.

    That car looks great man. Red or black would both look good imo. Red might stand out a little more though. One of the better looking termi's Ive seen in a while.

    Car looks awesome!
    Love the paint!

    I think a different wing would really set the car off and make it look even better than it already does!

    Looks great, Nice paint work.

    I say Black with red lettering.

    Oh and if it is going to be down for work, pull the calipers and send them to me!

    It looks ok, but your rear tires aren't wide enough.
