And to think that I am happy when it rains so that all the road salt washes off.

**Ghrankenstein** · 03-23-2007, 04:13 PM

Nice find, and definitely a good read. Yeah, the guy took this project to warp-factor ridiculousness, but he took the time to photograph and document the whole thing. It's neat to see the process evolve.

$1000.00 Wax, Man.. I know an opharnage that could use the cash. Seriously

sancapguy · 03-23-2007, 04:53 PM

Sorry, I stand corrected the wax is $7118.00 see zymol website. Thats about 1/3 the price of the car!!!

That guy is crazy. I bet he would cry if it rained.

airbalancer · 03-23-2007, 05:06 PM

a little of the top , but would you want to clay a new car?

t-rex · 03-23-2007, 05:08 PM

asim · 03-23-2007, 10:36 PM

Best looking hatch on the market in my opinion. Very athletic looking without any entry level feel what-so-ever.

E. Haskell · 03-23-2007, 10:41 PM

I love that color, it looks like Carolina blue.

i agree, and the saturn version looks the best imo. This one looks kinda weird in the front with that blue plastic, it looks like a wierd pontiac.
