Just to give you an idea on how bad the car was (its been sitting for a few years in FL sun, driven seldomly, never washed, it was literally covered in over spray), here's the in-process pictures my friend took as he did the detail:

O.K., Ray brought me his famous Fobra Saturday. It was in rough shape. First, it was covered top to bottom with white over spray. To complicate it, the over spray had been baking on there for a long time. What happens is as the paint is coming off, it acts like 2000 sand paper and mars the paint. So after that, compounding is necessary. In the end, I win the battle!! Here are some before, during, and afters for your viewing pleasure!

Head unit, still haven't decided what I want.

Nothing beats the freshly detailed look!
Looks great! Should look good with the yellow fogs too. Now that I think about it, I always liked the 00R wheels but don't seem them around too much anymore..

That is quite a detailing job. If you know what you're doing you can work a small miracle with the paint. Now go out and drive it....and get ready for all the compliments that will be thrown at it. :)
