You dont park under those coconut trees often do you? If a falling coconut can kill a person imagine what it can do to your celica's hood.

THE STUFFS FOR SALE!

yes in almost all of the sanding. for the edges i wanted to save like the hood and fender flares i just used a box of card with 400grit.

haha yeah i dont ever park under ANY tree. theres the bird doodoo problem and the falling seeds or in this case coconuts.

i just wished that my paint job was a little more orange peel-less and with the clear coat. so i could get that coconut tree with the sun pic on my hood.

my friend one time placed his surf board under a coconut tree and walked away, only to come back to his now 2 piece surf board laugh.gif laugh.gif so yeah they're killer wink.gif
