    Re: From China with Love

    I'm thoroughly impressed by most aspects of this car.

    I have always liked the stock look of santa monicas, but you have brought them to a whole other level, congrats for that.
    You haven't put HIDs or any other dis-tasteful mods on your car which is awesome to see from such a young individual, keep up the good practices!
    That brushed trim actually doesn't look half bad. I was skeptical at first but honestly it looks good.

    The one criticism would be stickers on the intake manifold, is that really a good idea? That engine gets quite hot, and with stickers on the manifold isn't it going to heat up and cool and heat up and cool etc and make the stickers peel off after time? I'm just throwing it out there as an idea to think about

      Thanks! I wouldn't bother polishing if the clearcoat didn't peel off. As for the intake manifold, it's only plastic and it doesn't get hot at all, so I should be fine. You're right the stickers began peeling on the edges after about seven month but I have fifty pages of stickers so its just a matter of replacing a few every few months or so.

              Make sure you like all the stickers then clearcoat it, you probably have some left from the rims anyway.

              Nice car.

                  Lol thanks, I didn't clearcoat the wheels because i don't ever want to sand clearcoat again, in case it peels again.
