Default True Fire After Clearcoat

This is an update from the previous post. I got some of the clearcoat and will be bringing her home tomorrow assuming that the rain stops.

I am also waiting for the spoiler. Which is in the process of drying and will be wet sanded and buffed tomorrow before pickup.

don't "HEHE" sounds kinda creepy, LOL j/k anyways, car looks badass, but I think I would have removed the trim. WIth that paint job, I doubt you will be parking next to anyone so you wouldn't have to worry about door dings anyways.

I know that I will not park next to anyone, but that doesnt stop them from parking next to me. ALSO, everyone seems to be removing their BSM. That just made me want to leave it on. Just to be different. Do you understand where I am coming from?? Thanks for the replys, keep em coming.

Actually a buddy did it for me. He works hand in hand with sweet body shop here. If you are in the Eastern N Carolina range, I highly recommend them all. PM me if you want their name. They are worth the drive if you have to drive a bit.

Thanks for all the Compliments guys
