    The twin turbo kit was built by a friend of mine who is a master fabricator and owns a shop. They were top mount style so there was plenty of room for the accessories.

    Edit: The car was wired and LS swapped by him as well. It was originally a N/A big block Chevy build.

    i wish my frame mod project had been completed fully, then i would not have to worry and fret about getting salty slop all over it and stop the rot
    the obsessions with it have taxed me! :pout:

    Coating or wax helps a lot as well. I have always detailed and waxed my ‘nice’ daily vehicles before and after winter.

    People say it’s a waste of time on vehicles you take off road, but it’s makes a vehicle so much easier to wash after you get it dirty and it won’t get as dirty as everyone else’s shit. Even if you have ‘pin stripes’ and less than ideal paint, it’s worth waxing/sealing/coating in my opinion.

    How expensive was it? Makes me wonder if the quality of products used and process used.

    I generally do it myself but I tend to use high quality products on my shit.

    If I am waxing I tend to like Colonite liquid wax. Sealant, I like Jescar Powerlock. Coatings I like Getechniq products.

    For a real nice finish without the complication of coating, laying down Jescar first and then a layer of colonite will change your life. Super deep gloss. Wouldn’t do that on a DD or a off-road vehicle though.
