I haven't really done much to the car since the 12th.No washing,waxing or car cover but I have thought about it.The good thing is I don't drive the car it just sits in the garage collecting dust.Well my Dad figured like 1400 after materials and labor on my part I modded the body kit and modded the rain guards on top and the door guards on the side.plus like 3 coats primer and 6 coats paint.I will probley wash,wax on the weekend of the 16th dec that should be hopefully enough time.
