I plan on doing the door panels next, followed by carpet and seats.
NICE! Looking forward to seeing pics!

Trust me, plastic dip is a mistake. It is fine for little things, but not for an entire car. I wish I didn't do it to my car.

Both... It stains when your hands are dirty and you touch it, and the corners are starting to peel on there own around the front and rear windshield seals. Also, on the roof there is black **** starting to form that is incredibility hard to get off from when it rains and water just sits on top.

These problems may not happen with black paint though. White just sucks though

Good to know, I had been interested to hear how it really lasts and what not. Stuffs never as advertised haha. Might just try some on the winter wheels then.

Decided since its sunny and 72 outside today that I would throw on the new wheels without the camber kits just for kicks. The stance will change slightly once the camber kits are installed.

Went ahead and put my headliner and wink mirror back in as well.
