Hopefully, that'll clear up some confusion. It's long, so check it out when you get some free time.

Your car should tolerate a small shot like you are considering pretty much forever. In your case, wet or dry should work just fine. If you'll be installing it yourself, dry is a bit simpler so I'd probably recommend that. If you get some help from someone whose done it before, either system is pretty simple.

If you decide to do it, let me know. We can take your car up to the shop one weekend and I'll help you install the kit on my own time, all it'll cost you is lunch. We should be able to knock it out in just a couple hours.

Good luck man, and always remember, SPRAY is the WAY!
Neat...that is AWESOME of you!

I had to quit drinking while working on cars, it always seems like I spend 10 hours doing 5 hours worth of work when I start to drink, lol. After the job is done though, I've been known to tip a few back.

Let's do it man!

I don't know that a 75 shot will be enough to hang with a modded Supra on the freeway, but it's a great start!
