Default How long is the process?

Ok so I dropped my car off at the customs place to get my Boy Racer kit installed, this is the 5th day that they have had is and still not done...How long should this process take?...I know living near Houston that the paint may take a little longer to dry due to humidity, but I don't think it should be this long for it to dry and be able to install...Granted today is a holiday, he said he would deliver in less than a week

In conjunction he is installing a catback exhaust...What dif will I have with a catback vs and axleback? Performance? Sound wise? (American Thunder)

Gotta love ignorant prejudiced babbling.


THIS is a ricer wing

What he has looks decent, flows with the car pretty well, and doesn't look like it was attached with duct tape. It does not qualify for rice.

I have the same kit all 11 pieces, plus Gen I headlights, and it took about 6 days to do. You have to watch out for the fender flares though, the shop i went to had to use more then 3m tape to keep the front tips down.
