Default Dressed up Trip ready

spent the day getting the girl all dressed up for our 3k road trip tomorrow.
wash and did vert top, looks new. Spray way 3x, tire black, rims, interior and blinged her butt. SS lettering inserts, looks cool. Along with the louvers done a short while ago. Looks Concourse Palm Beach ready, IMO, lol.

Now for the shoot down, girlfriend got sick middle of night with 103.2 temp. and everything that goes with it. Trip postponed. All dressed up with nowhere to go.

Car looks great and too bad about having to postpone the trip. Hope your GF gets well soon and you can get out on the road.

That’s one hell of a job on the exterior. My PM can’t pop like that in just about any light. Watch that temp as anything higher and sustained deserves medical attention. Sucks about your trip. You’ll look good getting her medicine.

Very shiny and very nice looking! Great job!
Bummer about your girlfriend; hopefully she recovers quickly and you can get on the road.
Have a safe trip once you're able to leave.

Look at the bright side.

You weren’t supposed to be driving. Fate saved you.

Looks good, recommendation: Buy a dash cover, I did before my trip and it cut out 98% of the glare from the dash amazing results!!!

Does your trip take you to Houston. My 03 SE Vert wants to meet yours. Pretty car for sure. I think Ill get those letters for the behind as they provide a nice contrast on yours. Are they easy to install? (I agree with the dash mat comment). Safe travels!

thank you all for the remarks about both my girls.

the lettering took ten minutes to install. Letters come with double back tape already in place. Peel and stick. The middle part of the E does not have enough tape so it rocks back and forth and does not stick good. Easy fix, two dabs of clear silicon on the tape and it beds nicely and no wobble, fast drying. Love the way it goes with the color and exhaust tips.

Having a spare car and a spare GF would solve most of these concerns
