for the pin stripe do you just peel it off, and possibly use adhesive remover if there is junk left over? the paint looks a lot better than original, and the conversion went well... you shaved a lot of stuff, would you call it worth it?

Not scratching.....

If you wax new paint.....the wax will trap in the oxidizors in the paint. Which will make it VERY cloudy and very fugly. Especially on dark colors.

MAKE SURE NOT TO WAX for at least 3 months.

i love that you filled in the trunk key-hole. i want to do that sooo badly. it is subtle gives the car a much cleaner look.

excellent look my friend

well, since he was already getting a paint job, all you need to do is bondo the hole, smooth it out, prime it, paint it, clear coat it. wouldnt be expensive whatsoever, the paint and prep is the hard part. im glad u agree with me... because i am always right, what did we fight about anyway? people yell at me all the time

(and yes i know i deserve it)
