Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the quick response! I might be flying out on the 4th of June to take a look at ERA#758. It's great to know that someone else in the area has one and is enjoying it! I will let you know how i make out and hopefully I'll be asking for Tony's number so that he can service my cobra moving forward. Also, I just got a quote from American Modern insurance for $420 annual for 3000 miles a year. I thought that was pretty damn good!
Thanks again!

Hello Kevin!
I'm currently in negotiations to purchase an 427 ERA Cobra thats located in IN and I too live in West Chester, PA. Just seeing if you have any tips as I've never owned a Cobra before and I'm not a mechanic so I'd need a good shop in the area to help keep her running!
Thanks in advance!

Any update on the Xpel installation? I was wondering about this stuff and how/if it adds any orange peel to a perfect flat sanded/buffed paint job. Thanks!
