I'm just tryin to help the fellow DFW G guys out, especially since many of you show and are popping the hood to let people see your bad@ss mods.

I have been at shows and walked past many MANY cars and thought to myself, "Dude....why would you pop your hood and let people see this??" To me, it's almost like inviting a whole bunch of people over to your house/apartment and leaving dirty dishes in the sink, dirty clothes on the floor, and not vacuuming after your dog just tracked in about 5 pounds of mud. You can have expensive or crazy unique mods, but they wont be nearly as appreciated if everything else is covered in grime. I can remember one G in particular (not gonna name names) that had a baller upper plenum that no one else in the area had. Unfortunately, the bay was so dirty and nasty that it was hard to appreciate the uniqueness of the mod.
ooooooooooooooooooo.. I know who you're talkin bout.. BAD Iceman.. BAD!!!

I wore that 100,000+ miles of grime and dirt like a badge of honor! Real man stuff right there son. You only get that kind of visible honor from runnin from the man and running in the desert during Race Wars!!

Ups to Brit though and his detailing abilities. I think I should however warn others, this will really show off your stockness and cause a burning sensation... in your wallet. You will need to mod heavily after this treatment. Just sayin, I was a victim.

Alright guys - Fedex gave me a nice surprise yesterday and decided to deliver the goods a few days early, so I'm all set. I'm good to go!

It's a tit bit nipply outside today, so I will probably wait until this following week to start since a certain amount of heat/warmth is ideal for this process. If anyone wants first dibs, let me know. Like I said before, I can come to you assuming that you have a hose.

I posted it in the DFW facebook group, but I should be able to do one car in the evenings this week (assuming you live nearby). Other than that, it will be this coming weekend. G35Man has already called first dibs, so who else wants to get er done this week?

Since mine will probably take some time, I'm good to wait for a while. This weekend will be crazy busy. I'll be at AAC watching the Stars TWICE this weekend! haha

So, probably won't be till next week for me.

Here are a few from Deemo's car that I worked on yesterday afternoon. Sorry for the poor lighting - definitely wasn't the best time of day to be taking pictures.
