I like to do all my work myself but I just really don't have time right now. The Varis lip, at least, will probably be on there by the end of the month, though.

My mind has been filled with thoughts of a built motor twin turbo. I was kind of thinking about waiting and doing a huge transformation all at once (or selling the car and buying a lotus). Either way, I'm just trying to catch a ton of overtime and save money.

but hey man i am sorry for ya. some people are jus not proffessional

I think this wins for most unconventional fix. I think there are some of these markers and erasers sitting around my office. I think I need to try this just to see if it works. Weird.

Cellulose thinners has always done well for me when all those ex girlsfriends have vandalised my car, works every time . . . :d

serious though, try it on a small area first and see if it helps

USE GOO GONE. This same thing happened to a friends 240 and goo gone took it right off. Should be an easy fix. First try on an inconspicuous area to test

Right? That's what I think. I think they just wrote it really sloppily (possibly been drinking) and extended the horizontal part of the "H" in order to do more damage.

That sucks man. I had someone shoot sparkplugs out of a wristrocket at my last car. They dented a pillar and smashed the back window (it happened on my birthday, too).

Hehe. Thanks man. This is what many reliable sources are telling me is the best course of action. I can't get over to a shop to pick this stuff up for a couple days, though.

I think I may have some of this at home. If I have some, I'll try it tonight.

I grabbed an EXPO dry erase marker and eraser from work, so I'll test that out too.
