Will do! It may be a while though as I guess my front bumper is on back order. I am trying to get a GT/SC bumper on there

Yep, a friend of mine owns a graphics vinyl shop and he recommends the soap/water mix too.

I still need to pick up a vinyl blackout.. I think matte will look best. I like the way it looks now, just the magnetic one isn't holding up. How durable is vinyl and will there be issues if I need to remove it in the future?
