12. Print the graphics for the custom baggie, cut the baggie down to size, place car inside the baggie, staple graphics to the baggie & send it out to you.

I also do other time consuming tricks like wheel swaps, cutting, dremel, etc.., Depending on what car & how much work goes in to it each car takes about 8 to 40 hrs to do. Ask any customiser & they will tell you the same thing. This isn't just about my customs, it's hard to see anyones customs sell real cheap knowing how long it took to create them. That is why I created the 12 step process so everyone can see what really goes into these gems because most people just don't realize the facts, they just see the car & never think about the actual work that goes into them. Its not all about slapping a sticker or a decal on a car, it's about jobs done with quality and contrasting creativeness. No competition here and to each thier own, I want to thank all my fellow customizers here on EBAY because if it was'nt for you & Ebay, what in the world would we be doing right now? I hope by me posting this 12 step process that others may recognize the actual work that is done by all customisers.. I want to say thanks to all my past customers & all my future customers for such a pleasurable & incredible EBAY experience!!  THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
