First I taped off the paint around it, then started wet-sanding with 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper to get out the major scratches. After that I did the same with 1000 grit, and then 1200 grit. I would have gone up to 2000 but I didn't have any. After all of that I dried it all off and used some Meguiar's Plast-X on a microfiber applicator for about 15 minutes. Wiped off all of the excess and this is what I have now
Besides the sand paper all you need is Meguiar's Plast-X, an applicator pad for it (to buff it), and a towel to wipe it off.

What year stang is that? 99-00? if so do the wing mod and move it back flush with the trunk. Thats the best looking wing Ford ever put on a mustang if you ask me. Looks great once moved back.

It looks so much better then 01-04 Gt's and older mustangs ones aswell. And I'm not really a fan of the 03-04 cobra wing at all.

I've heard of people getting those plugs from like Lowes or Home Depot or something like that. Not sure though, pm PcolaV6 and see what he did for his.

It's an 04...and yeah, i do only have a v6 exhaust for odd reasons...but, if all goes well and the roush body kit comes in place, i'll have the dual side exhausts.

i went to oriellys and bought the 3/8 rubber plugs. i bought torchred touch up paint too, but it cracked once i put the plugs in.
