Trust me, youll regret not having it later if you do get a chip up high..

Aerotect does an awesome job
Thanks, I'm definitely considering it. It's just such a big jump in price from partial to full coverage, though they include all of the extras they offer.

I'm currently having the front bumper coverage redone (along with new paint, etc. etc.) since someone decided it would be a good idea to back a trailer into the front of my F
Do you have full hood/fender coverage or just partial? That sucks man. Sorry to hear that. At least you don't have to pay for it.

So yesterday I finally cleaned up the car from all the crud it accumulated on the way down from WI. Washed and claybarred. It looks so much better! I'm going to polish, glaze, and wax it today. The bad thing was, I discovered a bunch of misc. damage. IS-F Damage. Click here for pics.

^Dam dude. Sounds like you've been through a demolition derby! I just got the car so this stuff shouldn't be there, but it is.

I've already driven it like I stole it and I'm not looking back!

Here are some shots I took this afternoon tooling around. It was partly cloudy/sunny. I finished washing and detailing the car over the weekend. I'll post what I used and did if anyone is interested and camera specs lol.












The rest can be seen here:

Looking good Bulls! Every time I see the two tone interior I kick myself for not getting it. I think it's now time for mods

^Thank you both sirs!

Just got clear bra'ed this morning at Aerotect. I got the partial kit (full bumper, partial fender, mirrors), headlights, fogs, door cups, door edges, rear bumper strip, and navi. Francisco and Jason did an excellent job as usual.

Here are the pics from today:

Let's see...this week is week 10 and then finals next week. My last final is next Friday from 3-6PM. Probably will leave that night. I'll probably be back during the next week to get some of my stuff to move back down to SD because I start work the following Monday, the 30th.
