If you need it one day, it takes about 5 hours:

They remove the calis, sand down, then paint, apply the logo, then clear, then dry, then mount.

I was in a rush and I knew they could always redo so my M6 was done in about 5-6 hours.

Whats going on on the 24th? I'm probably gonna go down there tomorrow to do the rest of the stuff to my car. I'm seriously contemplating making the emblems/lights/rims/side blinkers on my car black, and tints. I know its nice, but Idk if I want my car to stand out like that. I really enjoy the fact that my car is a sleeper.

Once again... Whats going on on the 24th? Nobody loves me!!!

I went by to get a tire today, and when I was coming back I was stuck in traffic for a good hour. When I got to the 10, "Wherever I May Roam" by Metallica came on KROQ as soon as the traffic died down.

1 Hour in Traffic+E55 AMG+Open Road+Metallica=A Dangerous F****** Time!!!!

I've never seen my speedo hit 130 so fast.
