Awesome build! Car looks pretty damn nice. Quick question on the rolling/pulling of the fenders. Did you completely roll the lip flat before the pull? I know the lips are pretty thick and hard.

Great color..... First "wrap job" I have seen that looks so appropriate with all of your choices.... Too bad your ride is stuck on an island and few of us will ever see it in real life.... You'd be a real crowd gatherer if could get the car to Cali and to all of the meets....

Keep the pics coming so we can all admire your work.....

Yup roll the lips flat first then start the pull. Make sure you clean out the inside of the lip and get all the dirt and little rocks out. Also pull out the plastic inserts that the fender liner screws into

Thanks for all the kind words guys. It's still a work in progress but it's getting there. The interior should be a good one when its finished

Awesome build man! I never saw a wrap done with the interiors of doors and fenders! Epic job! Look really nice!

Impact....great work so far with this build. I am highly interested in the results of your tablet install in the interior once it is all finished. Would you be interested in making a few more of those custom trim kits? If you look in my signature I already have a carputer in my SC, but I am looking to eventually upgrade to running some kind of tablet in the stock radio location such as a iPad mini since the technology is so good now in these tablets. I would definitely be a buyer and use it when I am ready to re do my audio some time in the near future. Definitely let me know.

Love everything about the exterior and that screen looks super clean. Nice wheel choice too

reconsider the ipad mini, check out android tablets, they cost almost nothing and have processors with double if not triple the power.

for example nexus 7, made by almost any company, i'll be trying to get an ASUS which is 170 on amazon. and ipad mini is 400?! also android is much easier to root so you could run multiple operating systems, and customize the entire thing for just your car. i'm pretty sure there's even themes for android that are dedicated for car use.

how does it sound? I have a friend running with no mufflers on his Mustang and it makes everybody cringe! Do you have a video clip of the sound?

I like your thinking oldManTan I will definitely look into Android tablets for my next infotainment system in the SC. It will be awhile from now but I definitely think it is the way to go on these older cars these days then running a traditional carputer setup.

I really like it. It's not super loud and has a really nice tone. I still have the stock cats and resonator on . I haven't taken any vids of the car yet. The 2j is just an all around really nice sounding motor
