Lance what do you want me to bring for getting cleaned up on Friday? I'm assuming you want to do most of the work ahead of time and just do touch up stuff on Friday night? I'm actually fully done with mine for WekFest tonight! Just did the polish and wax tonight, so I will leave it in the garage until Tues. I will bring it out to get the inside cleaned up with some goodies from work. Just let me know! Also your welcome to sleep down here Thursday night if you want to, I will be out of work by about 11 am Friday

Trev said next week works best for him. I could do it any night next week. I know you dudes are headed to Wekfest that following weekend and then I am off to Vegas the next so we need to get this done before Aug 18!!!!!!!

Chad measured my clear and there's a LOT of clear to work with which is great. He said he should easily be able to get out 99% of the swirls/marks. He's been doing detailing for 22 years now and is one of the most well known detailers on many sites as well as writeup DIY on Autogeek.

The Nissan Meet is Sept 3. What works for you other guys to get together and help install my springs and Trev's exhaust. I am buying pizza for all who come out and help 
. My next week is pretty open, Sunday is the only day it wont work since the garage is already being used that day.
Lance does Saturday afternoon work for you?

It wouldn't have been hard to do on your own for a better price, but time is hard to come by these days it seems. Mine is MINT as well, regardless of new. Wash, claybar, polish and wax. Going to bring some chemicals from work with me to get it all cleaned up before we drive it in. Don't forget the 1/8 tank gas tank rule. I already botched that one LOL. I filled up to a full tank this morning not thinking

Sat morning I will be finishing up my wet sanding and buffing, then was thinking about throwing on the exhaust at first gear garage and then have a family reunion to go to. what time were you thinking? Sun works better for me
Ive actually been lucky the place I had my wheels painted is where I am doing the rest of the work. The guy who owns the shop is pretty cool and he's letting me do all the pre-paint stuff there in his shop . . fittin up the bumpers, side skirts etc. The front bumper which I wasnt going to put (on but Tevi has swayed my view) needs to get dremeled on the bumper by the wheels on both sides, that about it. The rear bumper fit like a glove
There was just an issue with the crew hole being to big but I was able to find a bigger screw. Tomorrow I'm heading back over after work and fitting up the front and the sides ( using Lances advice and these cats said they have a techniques as well) and then friday were painting it. Sat morning is wet sand and buff and IM OUT
Mike, looks like your car is going to be showroom ready.. even though it already was. Was scared I wasnt going to make it to Wekfest with you guys. I had no idea about my body parts. where they were etc.. then on Mon Estes express calls and says they have a shipment for me. My parts came and I never even go a tracking # or anything.. kinda strange.. The box with all the parts was freaking massive. Updated pics in new mods section

I used my dremel...needed it a lot too because the nismo front wasn't cut out for anything i.e. grill, side markers, mounting holes, etc... My CS rear wasn't as bad though. They were marked for drill holes but just not drilled and the tabs for the most part were pretty close aside from the right side not sitting exactly flush at the top near the body.

Sunday doesn't work because they have the garage rented out by some guys the whole day. Saturday around 1ish would work best it sounds like since you and Lance have stuff going on later in the day. Lance is off work at 130 but if you wanted to get there a little earlier I would be available. PM me ur cell Trev and ill text ya
