Crimson Red e90 detailed :)

lambtron · 12-28-2009, 05:15 PM

I just wanted to share my satisfaction with the outstanding job that Aaron at AC Detailing over here in the bay area did on my car. When I handed the car over to him, the paint seemed to have been abused by the previous owner, who obviously had no regard for the appearance of the vehicle. It had lots of swirls/spider web cracks, scratches, tree sap, etc, and it all pretty much came out. There are a few minor areas that could have been repaired with wet sanding, but I did not opt for that, due to time constraints and budget. Overall, the car looks friggin amazing, I will most definitely be utilizing his detail services in the future! Here are some pics of the finished job, I do not have before pics, he does so I'm sure he will post them up soon.

looks good man!

Paint looks good. Not a fan of the front lip though. Also, some blacklines would look great.

Craig@SupremePower · 12-28-2009, 08:06 PM

It would look much better if the CF on the lip was not painted over, but i'll take what I can get for now. The CF is cracked so the previous owner of the lip/bumper had the lip painted over, and the bastard is pretty much fused to the front end, so I'm gonna leave it for now, lol.

I can't without damaging the paint on the front bumper. Whatever bodyshop installed the vorsteiner lip for the previous owner used some high strength rubber cement. Previous owners' sibling was driving and cracked the front lip and for a quick fix they all decided to paint over the cf part. When I went to pick up the bumper/lip combo from them, the body shop had attempted to remove the bad lip, only to realize that it was pulling off paint from the bumper. At this point, I'm leaving the lip on for now because I can't afford to fork out 500+ for a body shop to take the lip off, and then repaint and blend the bumper into the fenders.
