NO TIME TO INSTALL

I have had a bunch of parts sitting in my living room for weeks just waiting for a weekend off to install them on my new 2012 Gt, well my weekend finally comes and I'm all excited to get to work on my car.
So I go out to the garage, lay a sheet down on the floor and begin to take apart my front bumper. Alls going great, got the thing off in 20 minutes, so I start to work on taking the grill out and the phone rings.....**** it, cant I get a freakin break from my job for 2 days. Really.....I have to come in.....Your kidding right!!! I'm like, Ive got the front end apart on my car, cant you get someone else. FUUUDGE.
I had to put everything back together and head off to hell again. Son of a B....
will I ever get the time to do the work or maybe I should just pay a shop to install them. I mean hell, I surely can afford it with having to work all the time..

Sorry, I had to vent

I feel ya man!!! I actually took 2 days off from work to install some stuff. (it was my vacation week and I only took 2/5 days off) I took off Friday and today. Well, I completed the rear of the car over the course of 2 days and the front is on stands now with no wheels. I have some family issues that keep popping up and I keep having to wrap everything up early. This all should have been done on Friday!!!!!!!!:bangh ead: So the result is a half lowered car and a half missing front end.

I almost wish I was going in to work right now!!

This!

Turn the ringer off and don't look at it till your done! Unless your job requires that you are "on call". Then, your hosed.

Yep, you said it.
Anyways I dropped my car off at the bodyshop at 10am yesterday. It should be done later this afternoon.

They are installing my:
California Special front fascia
Saleen Grill
3D Carbon type 2 window scoops
Roush side splitters
Factory GT500 rear spoiler (painting to match)

I cant wait to get the car back.
Now I will have to decide what stipes I want to go with (Lemans or Super Snake), and then get the windows tinted (thank god they changed the tint law in Illinois)
