I just finished up ceramic coating the beast. It turned out great. I used Carbon Force from chemical guys. I couldn’t be more happy with the results. This stuff is quite easy to use and really looks nice. It definitely dries hard and crystal clear. Unfortunately my phone won’t post the good pictures of it because of their size. Check out how it brought the stripes back to life!

The spoiler with the stripes is awesome looking, I'm not sure I had seen the Dove tail three piece with stripes before....

Ohh man, I almost don’t feel worthy to have you poking around my lowly realm! After seeing what you did with Brandi and all Ive actually added the stripes to both the dovetails I’ve had. It’s a really nice finishing touch to an already bad ass spoiler.

Here’s the other car done up in silver…

LOL, I might need a few minutes alone.... ok dammit, 30 seconds...


I'm just a booger picker like anyone else... I just got lucky with employment and was able to play hard for a few years... Now I'm back to reality after my ahemmm, situation... So, I'm living vicariously....

Well that’s understandable as far as the 30 seconds goes… I mean you got your thrills at 25-30 seconds at a time when you were still doing the mile events… I gather that it’s possible for time constraints like that to carry over into ahem… “other areas of life” lol.

Dont worry I’m not judging

Had a mobile tiny guy come by last weekend. He set me up with 15% for $180. I’m really happy with it. The tint shops in town wanted close to $500 for the same treatment. I’ll pass.

Better than them "drag" racing dudes... LMAO...

I like the tint, though I couldn't go that dark due to local regulations.... My truck back windows are A bit darker, but the driver and passenger fronts are legal at 35%, and I might have a "clear" layer on the windshield.... It's just a protective coating though.. lol....

For once we are lucky in NM, up to 20% is legal, so I’m pushing it a hair but not much. My other car had 10% but it was a pain in the butt to see out of at night. So I lightened it up a smidge.

Yeah I find it funny the folks in blue often have limo tint windows in Texas, but we can’t… I thought there was a caveat that the gubment couldn’t do anything ordinary citizens…. Yada yada yada… lol…

I never did like the windows too dark… As you mention, it’s a pain at night… especially if it’s raining…

I’m pretty damn excited for this… was able to work a deal out for these from a member here. New never installed unobtanium. Hopefully it’ll be here in a few weeks.

My plans are to work on getting the splitter brackets reproduced before installing them so we can keep these GFX parts alive and functional into the future.
