My 96 camaro had t tops. I found about the only thing they were good for is clearing everything out of the car at speed.

I would luv to watch you and someone else clean mine like that in 3-4 hours.

After I bought last spring I bought a buffer and buffed the whole truck. Cut wax and then gave her a good waxing. It took me close to 10 hrs.

Oh ic, I havent heard of Tunerworks. I figured with the way it looked and the AJR decals on the mirrors that it was done through them.

yeah AJR ripped that one off, its actually from a japan magazine that sponsors the Subaru WRC team and Petter Solberg has them on his mirrors

On another note i know i mentioned we might be able to do this clean/meet at my shop one day.

Well i talked to the powers that be and we can use the shop for a little get together any saturday or sunday I got keys and such and we have a BBQ, so i can pick up some hot dogs and hambergers and pops and invite you guys on over. Gives me a chance to meet you guys and you can see my shop at the same time.

I know next weekend is no good but we could do this a few weeks down the road, got tons of parking here and such. What does the population think. We are located in Abbotsford just off McCallum road

Figures they ripped that off... Solberg is my favorite rally driver.


That shop meet sounds good. Im in Aldergrove so its only 10-15mins for me to get there. I dont know how many other lower mainland members there are though.
