My New Rio Red 99 Cobra Pictures

[KaNolton]

Well as most (all) of you know I recently purchased my first pet snake :banana: And I was planning on lowering it and throwing some 18 inch saleens on it this weekend however, mother nature thought differently. Atlanta was supposed to get some 5 inches of rain (i haven't heard the actual number) so I was SOL when it came to yanking the suspension out.

So I did the next best thing. I washed it before the rain started and pulled it into the garage, clayed it, then hit it with a machine glaze on a CCS grey pad and then did hit it with a QD spray and gave it some tire shine. I also used Back-to-Black on all the black trim and gave the windows a nice bath. The interior was already spotless so then I just used back to black and QD spray in the engine compartment.

I am very pleased with the results as the paint on the car is very nice. Next week I have spring break so I'm planning on lowering it and putting the saleens on as well as cleaning off the exhaust a bit and maybe wet-sanding my 3rd brake light. I'm planing on getting an 03/04 spoiler so I would rather not buy one, just clean it up.

Anywho, here are some pictures

You could say I'm a picture whore :beer:

Once I drop it and put some saleens on it I will take it to a nice location and do a proper shoot.

Looks great. Always loved the Rios. Should look much better with the saleens. Screw the terminator spoiler, get 1967eleanor's.
