Oh ho! I like it!

How does that material work? Is it self-sticking or did you glue it?

thanks guys!

the vinyl is self adhesive, but is a pain in the asssss to form. a lot of melting, stretching is required.

yes, I have done the wheel lips about a week ago!

i got so sick and tired of it, they offered 2 free full details (ext, interior)
I'd love to hear that story.

I bought my car from them, and they were *very* nice about replacing tons of parts for free for things like scratches I complained about.
But they did manage to scratch my bumper while it was on the lift, naturally they neglected to mention that.

C230 Sport Coup + 2006 W164 ML350 + 99 Ford Escort (What the heck, it gets 38 mpg!)
Looks pretty cool. Nice contrast to the black.
The only thing I'd do different is delete the tape in the door sills, but thats just me.
Or better yet, some custom lighted door sills with red LED's instead of the typical blue. I know I saw those around here somewhere for about 250, pick you own text. How about Advans in red glowing letters?
Ha, yeh, it's only money.

thanks guys!

I think wrapping the center vent was a good thing. it actually makes the trims look better!
