My hood looked better without the vrt. Might have to wash that off tomorrow morning. I plasti-dipped my mail slot area this afternoon, but messed up my edges when I pulled my tape. I like the look of it tho, so I'm going to have to re-do that.
I'm seriously considering taking off my splitter now. No matter how I attack my driveway, it scrapes and is already starting to look pretty ragged on the nose :( I've also run into an issue with a lot of my lighting mods...mainly that I don't have much space in my garage to work! |

FWIW, I'm keeping my vinyl on for now. Until I've had 30 days of sunshine ill decide how good or bad it is. To date mine has been looking great and nothing like Tram's photo where his looked weathered and gray. Maybe LA has been having more sunshine and this is how mine will look soon too.
I have been washing with Chemical Guys foaming soap, rinsing with San Jose's hard water (an awful water that dries white) and drying using the water-based sheet or pooling method. I haven't rubbed it with a chamois nor a waffled cloth. In fact, I haven't wiped it with anything minus my wash mitt only. The VRT was disappointing but I'm going to try once more with less product. Will keep you all posted and will upload pictures along the way. I do love Tram's CRT hood tho! |

Did you do multiple coats of dip? My first coat had some texture. I thought I'd cleaned it good enough, so I did a second and then a third and pulled the tape. CRT, I used a minimal amount of vrt, I really don't think I could've used less. |

Ozzy, you know we are waiting for pictures right? You brag for 2-3 days about a photoshoot then show up with no pictures. Not cool... Lol

i put over 100 on it yesterday...was too hungover today to feel like i'd enjoy putting more, so i tried to spend some time working on it, most of which was met with failure. so i gave up and watched some movies :P the only thing that i did successfully was program the garage door opener lol

It's cool, I was just trying to say that I was applying it literally by drops at a time, and it still came out shiny. No bueno for the appearance, IMO. I'll either keep it untouched from now on, or take it off in the near future and do something else to it. Maybe that hood I was looking at when it's tax return time lol

If I read the install instructions on the splitter right, isn't it riveted on the bbottom with some brackets on the side that once removed you will have holes visible by the wheel well openings.
