Looks sweet man! I'm going to pull the trigger on some dark grey brushed aluminum vinyl wrap to wrap all of the wood trims. But first I'm going to wrap my roof gloss black. I dipped it (Yes, dip. No bashing please.) matte black but it looks horrible so I have to work on the roof first.

Good morning man. Change of color or did something go wrong? I was originally going to wrap interior trim with white carbon fiber pattern but changed my mind. I still have the white carbon fiber wrap somewhere. Did you also wrap dash trim?

no i just want to redo it becuase it was my first time wrapping. and its coming off on the corners a little.


a little update on the eyelid molds for those who have asked. i think i used the wrong board to work on and the clay attatched itself to it so i have to try again with another base.

just sprayed my bumper last week and was able to let it dry. it wont go on till i get the grill and get some of the pieces on the bumper wrapped in chrome.

its been awhile since i made any updates but here it is... slowly but surely lol.









3 coats of base
1-2 coats of mid
4 coats of clear


all in all the paint matched pretty well being that it was my first time spraying chrome but hey i needed to learn one day.

Hey EJ, have you changed all your lights, to the 6000k? I tried to change just the trunk bulb, and can't find one to fit?
