Very nice! I agree that anything you can do yourself gives you a real sense of satisfaction. I spent ten minutes cutting off my antennae, and I felt like I rebuilt the entire car myself.

Thanks, bro! That piece was the most challenging to install due to the added rear bumper lip. That precut piece was designed for the stock type.

Great job! Got those wondering if they can do it themselves I say go for it. I did it with zero experience. The hood, roof and trunk are pretty easy. It's the curved areas that are tough and you will need a heat gun. Get a pre cut kit to make your life easier. Plus using the wet methods is great because you can move the piece around a lot without it sticking.

Great Job! When you say wet method, is that using a bottle sprayer with Dawn soap solution and water? I put some large decals on my Conversion Van's rear windows using that method.
