i know some understand. i'm also sure there r some that don't quite understand. but just wanna point out that in 2.5 hrs thats all i was able to accomplish. my buddy was working on 2 other parts. so to those that balk at the price, this is y we charge wut we do. its a lot more than just slap some epoxy on, clear and go
