haha no. i have not yet joined. im too 'busy' to go to the meets and wat not.
im not sayin that you guys arent busy but i've got work everyday from morning till afternoon. and i'd be too tired to wake up early. call me lazy if you will. but that's me.
and little by little i will be chaning everything to pw. it's gonna look nice. mm can't wait.

well. close up of the handles and gas caps are actually not that great. the edges is where it's not good. i stretched it without using a heatgun and then a day after or so it shrunk back a bit so there are gaps.
im going to redo them tho.
and wow you live in columbia. not too far from where i am.
but it'd be a lot easier if i took the door handles off. but seeing that a lot of people said they're a pita to take off. i just did them while they were on the car.
if you DO cover them. take your time. and i found using water makes it hard. (it does come out cleaner tho) but i did it dry so i could have it stick well. they're pretty hard to cover if you're not good with handling with vinyl.
but only horror story that i could think of was. when doing my gas cap. (took it off of course) i covered it about halfway and did a pretty good job.
but while doing it..a car came in to tint. (im a window tinter. ) so while tinting the car my gas cap dropped onto the floor and chipped at the vinyl. started all over. but that's pretty much it.

Hmmmm... I like the PW painted side markers with the chrome/red "S" , but I think they would look much better without the checkers around them. Surrounded by the black checkers, the painted parts stand out more than when they were chromed. They paint doesn't reflect the black of the grills and so the edges and center bar look thicker. Do you still have the checkers on the side panels? I like your bonnet/bumper stripes, btw. They look sharp!
