It takes a week to cure so no car washes and keep it out of the rain too.

    It was expensive. Considering I hadn't had my car detailed appropriately in two years (and that detail was 'meh' by comparison), and all the dirt and dust it gathered since being here in Boston, the car needed it badly and I had no problem spending. This detail package was $800. I park it underground now. And it does not go out in the winter!

    Thats really not bad how much work and time goes into detailing a car our size, Mine needs it so fricking bad will wait till fall once it cools down to tackle it.

    Your car looks amazing. Is the paint deep and wet looking now?

    Thanks for the compliments everyone. Granted it's a post from the other board, but here is the source of my inspiration. The OP posted lots of pics.

    I installed a bracket and 2.5 pound H3R Halguard fire extinguisher. It mounts to the front passenger's seat base. got the bracket off Ebay. It only fits G8s and only g8s with power seats. The fit is great. I sprang for the chrome extinguisher to add a little bling. LOL

    Awesome! I have the bracket but like everything I've bought for the car, I have yet to install it. It's a nice bracket!
