Did you use Primer after the Adhesion Promoter? Or just Promoter then Paint?

Looks good, need daytime pics!

No, the adhesion promoter instructions said paint not primer. Although hou could do primer if you wanted. I wanted to have as little of an edge on the paint as possible.

Weather here is bad today but once I can wash the car again a d get some sunlight on it ill take some more pics and post them here.

Thanks. I got them off Ebay. There is a thread all about it in the appearance section where I review them. If you need more info or want to know where you can get a set let me know in a PM or on this thread.

Did you get your tail lights tinted or is it a cover, it looks great!

A body shop tinted them with a tinted clearcoat. The covers are ok but a little too dark and obvious. But the upside is they are removable. The vinyl tint is cool but I know a guy that owns the bodyshop and we traded some work. But he normally does it for $60 if you take the lights off so he doesn't have to.

Yes, very sadly it is. Needless to say, installing the pedestal spoiler was a very bad idea. But all is not lost. I will have the holes filled and the dents fixed when I get my hood. Probably in the spring. So that when they paint the hood they will repaint the decklid as well.

Why make it so permanent? Do what i did, go to rockymountaingraphics.com and order the vinyl. The Race Red Mustang in the pic is mine. Install is so easy and honestly, it looks like its painted on.

I used some vinyl stickers on my hood and had issues with them. Mainly the raised look of them and polish getting stuck to the edges. Since then I have sworn off stickers all together.
