Yeah, I'm down for both. I dont have anything planned for the 16th that i know of, so that should be perfect. I'll bring the camera along as well

Also, there are always haters that are jealous. You just gotta roll with it.

It prevents rock chips as well as bird crap stains etc etc. not to mention swirlmarks

interesting, why 90 days? probably to let the paint cure. Where you gettin' ur car painted at? They might do Clear-Bra'ing.

It's pricey, i believe its around 300-400 dollars, not certain though. Gary, how much was your's for your CL? Or how about this, we all go to Jim's Bodyshop and ask for a group discount
We all know Pimp get's his front end repainted before every meet anyways,
