Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
Personally I'd do metallic charcoal but thats me. Don't you have a red interior? Plan on changing it with this mini resto
Interior is red/black right now. Not sure what route I am going there, I kinda like the "custom" red/black theme I have going on but I would love a black or ebony 4th gen interior that would just be
Working on it man! I dont have some crazy funds like most people Cant afford $1,000-$1,200 for wheels and tires. I will be cleaning mine some more this weekend (I will take them off and scrub the shit outta them) and hopefully bring them back to life a little more to make it look better. I also have some cleaning and touch up work to do on the whole car.

If you do metallic charcoal stripes that even more reason to push for 4th gen seats and console!!!

Meh, I waxed my car two weeks after it was painted and only waited that long because it was 2 weeks before I needed to wash the car. The 6 month wait period is for old paint. Today's paint you can wax immediately, just don't use hot wax or machine buffers. Hand wax is perfectly fine.
Edit: Hell, while we're talking about paint, today's paint doesn't even really need wax. I haven't waxed my car since the Berger Show when it was detailed... I just wash it down and then quick detail spray it as necessary. Every painter I've talked to absolutely hates how much people wax their cars these days.

Wetsand/polish.
And B there's no way you can get the same glossy depth and feel without wax. Run a finger against something unwaxed and something waxed-definitely a difference.
Personally, I'm sure most of us prefer waxed.

FYI...Wax is a protectant, and yes, you can get the same glossy depth and feel without it. There are some top quality cars on the show circuit that NEVER use wax.
Maybe it's just that my crappy 12 year old paint looks and feels a lot better with it. Seems to hide some of the imperfections.
Wish I had paint that was so nice that it felt perfect without wax but then I wouldn't want to drive it.
Woooooow! I just caught up on your thread car looks great! When you get the RED stripes on it it will be awesome. Your car is really turned into a THIRDGEN not a turdgen. LOL

True - but overall looks, MOST people won't be able to tell the difference between unwaxed and waxed. Of course a finger swipe will tell otherwise, but just the same a finger swipe will tell the difference between a paint that needs claybar and paint that doesn't yet you won't usually be able to tell by looks alone unless it's really bad.

Yup. Even my car which is not top quality or show quality paint looks great unwaxed. It's all about how clean the surface is. Wax protects the paint a bit by adding a layer on top so dirt and debris gets stuck to the wax and not your paint. A clean paint surface will look great either way.
