Oh wells can't stay perfect forever

Looks pretty great! How about putting a coating like C.A.R Bullet proof on the front. I have read a few threads stating it really reduced the chipping when putting on a couple coats. You could just do the "front" facing areas since you love waxing so much.

When you have your EB locked into 2nd gear, give it half throttle and still fighting traction at 25mph then ya know the tune is pretty strong

Still have one more revision to go also!

Ill Check into that.. My bumper, Grill and Surround came out fine. It was just the hood mainly. I'm thinking it happened when coming back from Austin. Wife was following me in a contruction zone right on my *** and have a feeling i kicked the rocks up. I told her to back off but was probably to late.

It's very stressful having extended family stay with you for any amount of time. Hopefully there is a defined timeframe for this arrangement so you can mark off the days until you have long-term normalcy once again.....

Here, found a video on it. Looks pretty impressive, but keep in mind that it's 5 layers of the stuff

I bit the bullet and decided to try to cut the fuel line on the Cavlier so I could just run a hose. As I was tightening the line cutter it just smashed the line flat I ended up getting it cut and opening the end of the line back up. Slid the hose on and she's good to go now!
