Why would anyone ruin a beautiful expensive paintjob with expensive ugly vinyl? It looks like you pulled those fenders out of a junk yard. Am I the only one who thinks this looks like crap? I suppose you cover your beautiful leather seats with vinyl as well? How long do you expect that to last on the outside of a car in the sun? Someone please enlighten me on the reasoning behind this!!! Primer would be cheaper.

Terrible waste of $$$ guys!

"Hot rod black" is back in style and everyone is doing it on everything. I'm with you though, I love a nice reflection in my paint. Especially black.
