Thanks, and its going to be real hot with a chromed out engine bay and supercharger under the hood. If i can ever get that finished, not to be cocky but I look at it some times and am like damn!

Yeah i got all the bling done and my tranny is pretty much gone, rear main seal leak on the motor and a few things. Supercharger i just got cleaned me out and I need to order all the manifolds for it now. So im just going to pull the motor hopefully, throw some new seals in if not rebuild. Get a new tranny and start with the supercharger install and painting/chromeing out the engine bay since the charger is polished. Hey im still living at my parents not many bills, im a dork but by god ill have my car how i want it!
My main seal on my tranny got screwed up..I have to get my whole tranny pulled out and the seal replaced..while they are tehre ima get my pan seal replaced too..
My car has been sitting in my driveway for 1 week..longest EVER..but right now its eitehr my car or college tuition!!!
i pick the car...lol..decisions decisions.
I shud be bringing it to Aamco this weekend..even though every1 says not to...Im too poor to afford the dealer for this.

fonzo - yeah 15% on teh front 5% on the sides and rear
Din - Yeah mine was about 4 and i had it done twice aswell, not by choice lol. Im not happy with alot of it. They didnt pull my trim like they were suppose to around the windows so its chiped for one. ive ordered paint to try to fix it myself cuz screw these shops around here. I got screwed twice, live, learn and do it yourself

Well if i repaint the whole think im going to do it myself. Everyone says you dont want to attempt candy but whatever i dont care. 2 shops couldnt get it right so maybe i can. My base coat top coat jobs dont have the orange peel and fast flash dull clear this thing does either. Im consintrating on my supercharger right now maybe ill go back to the paint later...
