Get like a big shop light, place it in front of you, then take a picture of the paint. Will shoe swirls and stuff.
Don't get me wrong, car looks great, but Just blah about people showing off a car with shadows and indirect sunlight. Anyone can make a car seem flawless in the dark.

They are actually hubcaps =) Getting a nice set of rims is on my list of many things to do.

Not really an attack. Just every pic I have seen him post seems to be in the shade or the right lighting to show no swirls or scratch's. And actually I detail for a living too is why I point it out. And our main job is fully buff/polish/wetsand cars for people. All the way from Original cars with less then 100 miles on them, all the way to doing all the cars for FORD at sema.

The center portion is real stainless steel as well as the ring. So you can polish it and it looks really good. The painted portion is coated with real automotive clear coat so you can wax it up to a good shine. I bought it off ebay awile back. I cant remember the seller. He did have other designs too. From the picture i thought it was black. But when it came in it was almost a dead on match to my flint mica paint so turned out better than i expected.
