I did not, it was under the clear coat so I'm assuming some kind of stress or maybe heat over time. It was beyond a cleaning matter for sure.

Thanks guys!

Alex, I need to send those cards to you, I've been running around too much lately so it's slipped my mind. Didn't forget about that!

russiankid · 05-31-2009, 10:51 PM

Good job.

Lol, it looks like someone decided to use your back seat as a cereal bowl and eat fruity pebbles. How the heck Oakes cleaned it is beyond me.

EDIT

OH **** AN R8 :D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

keff108 · 06-03-2009, 04:06 PM

Oakes If I were you I would have given him a deal as long as he let me take the R8 out for a little and pick up some ladies.

DPancoast · 07-06-2009, 10:36 AM
