I visited this local business after seeing a few Corvettes come out detailed from there. I walked in and the owner Matt quoted me $100 for a detail of my 2007 daily driver! I took it in. My car was in reasonable condition with no water spots. When they finished my car in a little over two hours.... I had no scratches in my head lamp covers, no wear mark on the lower part of my drivers door, the paint is smooth as a babies, well you know. All the carpets and mats shampooed in the car and the paint pops like a brand new showroom car. So worth it. With both my hands having issues, they even do a full hand wash, tire dress, vacuum, wipe the interior down and wax it to a mirror finish for $25!!!!!!

It was worth every dime. And now to find someone that local that respects the car and it's owner. My car is always going to be there!

Read the first post. Both of my wrist are blown and I'm under medical care. I can't do the work
Or I would. Glad to have found them.

Next time read before being so rude! Pfft.

Ya I read the first post the other day and forgot, sorry dude but I suffer from CRS...

Just kinda sounded like you were connected with the shop and pimping which is why I came on with the sharp tongue.

Btw I have MS too and have often thought of painting the halo and top like yours. It looks sharp. Only thing stopping me is the upkeep of the black . Silver is so easy.

Are you safe driving? Is your car a manual? Just curious.

My issue with keeping the car up is more of a back problem, these cars are so low. Then when I had the 90% torn Rotators Cuff it wasn't easy either but I struggled throw it. Never did have the surgery either.

Nope no connection. I drive her once in a while but she mostly enjoys the garage now. I'm an auto so I can at least get her out once a week.

Usually now on long trips my hubby gets to drive and enjoy it. I'm training to be a passenger a little more lol!

The carbon flash top and halo is actually easy to take car of. Abel body shop did it. Sorry about your back too. Terrible getting old!!!

It's the paint color made to look like it's done in carbon fiber. Just not as expensive. ;-)

Ok...thanks so it is still painted.

I love the look just hesitant on keeping the darker color up.

Could you PM the price from Abel?
