    Looking good. Finish it off with a Joey Mod and everything but the bulbs will be blacked out.

    I gave the Helmet a quick wash. I did not even wash the wheels. Also I pulled the carbon fiber door handle covers off. I am hoping it re-clear them. The CFO said I can not spend a lot of money on the helmet.
    The clear paint protection is very dull so I will need to remove it. The front bumper may have to be replaced. I think it is fixable but not sure which would be better. There is one 2 inch scratch on the driver side that I plan on airbrushing then I will wet sand. I feel like everything els will buff out!

    Hope it’s not to much faster or your wallet will be even lighter.

    Another hard week. It's going to be in the 80's for the next 10 days. Well that will give me time to get ready for a show on the 18th of May.

    Good luck with the upcoming car show and enjoy the that weather. We watched one of our grandsons play lacrosse in sub 32* temperature and snow storm this past Monday.

    Skooby took the ride of shame this morning. Now just a matter of how many $$$$ it will cost. ;)

    All because of this...
