Just lost 50 hp
If the vinyl mod adds horsepower then I figure I just lost 50 horses.
I just finished three days of labor taking the graphics off my car. Oi what a hastle. Black reflective comes off in layers, unlike normal vinyl.
The reason is this. I just had the body dammage fixed and when they did the work they had to take the graphic off the passenger door and fender (the one in my sig, no less). So I wanted to have it put back on, but I did not want to have 2 different types or ages of vinyl on the car. So I have a shop ready to cut new decals but I have to wait for two things: First, the paint to finish curing; Second, I want to clay bar the whole thing again and de-swirl the wonderful GM black paint before I put the decals back on.
Hopefully I will be ready for shows starting in June.
And Steve, whenever you're ready .

I won't have a day off now until Tuesday. I will probably have to wait to clay bar it then, as long as the weather holds. I will be working 11-9 Friday and Saturday, till 6 on Sunday and till 8 on Monday if you want to try to squeeze something in sooner.

Maybe Tuesday.
You could wash it, clay it & wash it again. I might be able to get out of the office early 2-3PM and we could do the Menzerna Twins that afternoon/ evening.
