Thanks for looking and good luck !!

I guess I've done a pretty good job of under selling this car . I just hate it when ads say "show quality" , or "perfect" in their description . Truth is , the paint looks pretty good. It's well applied base-coat , clear-coat . The metallic is very even , no splotches or tiger stripes . The clear is deep shiny and smooth . The chips have all been touched up , pretty much as soon as they were detected . The car will not embarrass You at the local cruise or show . Look closely at the photos of the pass. front . You can see the reflection of My Home , which is about 300 feet from the car , and you can see the grass reflection as well .I want to be clear ,it's not perfect , but it is pretty darn nice . Thanks for looking .
