    Looks like a Florida house. I see you are a little farther south.

    here in GA. it would be too late. the pollen here is thick enough to cut with a knife. I washed my truck yesterday and when I washed off the soap the water spots were yellow. it will be this way for about 2 weeks...:yup:

    even when I wash mine hte road grime is still there so I dont worry about it too much.
    that and its a good at best 20-30 foot paint job
    eventually Ill repaint it then MAYBE Ill keep it washed up :D

    good looking car just needs a touch of black to off set the red
    its screamin for a black gt stripe kit:thumbs2:

    I have the black decal kit for it, just have to decide what I'm going to do about the paint on the car as it really needs to be sanded back abit as it was not painted in the best conditions and has small dimples all over it.
