But unfortunately, it's just Uncle & I, plus we just brought on a Detail Division for the business, so we don't have someone to do Tops, and we don't have the ability to beat the internet pricing of the Tops that you can get through google searching. Which is our biggest competitor when trying to price-shop these types of installs.

Tommy, sorry if you took it as me saying he was a half-ass-jobber or something. I wasn't implying that at all bud. Simply showing that based on exactly what you posted, we don't have any margin for profit.
