btw, next time you clean it! a simple rag and engine detailer and some polish will do....
DAMN...it looks amazing. I dont have hours and hours anymore. I need to start making money and look for a better job.
Oh...I cover everything with plastic bag and saran wrap electrical stuff. I'll try the rag and engine detailer and armor all

i am assuming you use a carwash.. first no-no.. but i barely drive the car so its always handwashed esp. my new 05.. when spraying, just throw a plastic bag over the air cleaner, and dont spray directly in the spark plug cover.. otherwise spray away... also you have a factory hood, so you can ditch the factory airbox lid.. rain water will stay out as long as you kept the moldings on the factory hood...
trust me, i know about limited time, between driving cali. every week and developing parts for the evo, i dont have much either... and just 2 zip ties to hold it there on the a/c line.. i didnt use them on my 05 though.. it stays there..
I am in the Buff area on occassion and I have seen your evo at the walmart on niagara falls blvd. Do you guys have get togethers or anything. I am not sure if you have seen my car around but I have the blue one with the black rims w/ polished lip. I like the carbon fiber lip as well.

I throw plastic bags and saran wrap some stuff such as the alternator etc. Thanks for the advice though. I'll use some engine detailer and clean that baby!
