I dont wanna blow up his spot because he is a GOOD friend of my dads but my passenger headlight cover AND my bumper, he charged me WELLLLL under 500 bucks. I dont wanna give an exact cost but it was cheap. I was ready to pay him with a check but it was soo cheap, i gave him cash.

Yeah you def came after i left because i only noticed 4? rx7s total. I was actually not gonna come at all because i have work super early the next day but i promised id show.

If it doesnt rain this week, ill prob go again but i have to leave early again

Maybe we should hit up the starbucks and chug on caffeine so we can stay awake lol

I would assume so but you have to bring the car/part in to him first.

For one, he doesnt speak any english. He's brazilian.

And 2, he doesnt know our type of cars enough to give a good estimate. I wanted to get a quote for my rear spoiler and he said he has to see it. I just wanted a ballpark figure but he doesnt give ballpark figures.

He wants to see the actual thing he's painting and you're gonna get a price right there and then.

That's no problem. I'd be more than happy to bring it down to him. I understand a good amount of Portuguese being Latino myself. Does he only paint cars/parts? I need a fair amour of body work done...

Ok, if youre using mapquest, try LOWES 150 instead of 10 and everything else stays the same.

later,
