if he's letting you do anything to the car, then its ok. but, i gotta say those stripes really are ugly. when its yours, get rid of em.

 

thats what im saying! they take away from the beast look of the car, it makes it look plastic in a way. But with all that said. He is sleeping on it. Will confirm his decision in the morning. but anywho, what color billet gas tank cover?

 

Rather than being sneaky about it (I'm a dad of 23 yo and 24 yo sons... they're both pretty straight with me and so its mutual respect thing); you might try having him read some of our replies in your post here. Especially when we try to tell you (and him) that the strips aren't doing any good, that you'll take them off as soon as you get the car (for all the reasons posted above), and the longer you leave them on the worst the car will look since the weathered and protected areas will be more obvious.

But I seriously recommend that after all your attempts to convince and he doesn't change his mind that you accept this situation as it is. Its not for very long. Think of it as an honest businessrelationship (instead of only one of those father-son disagreements). Its good for your character.

Yeah, great idea. Just e-mail him the link to this thread.

 

Will do, he'll check it in the AM and realize what a difference it will make. I ordered him the convertible boot, even if its a pain to get on, i want to take care of our car. Ill let him make up his mind, and not force the issue, and if he decides against it, ill put it on my "to-do" list for when i recieve the car.

Thanks for pulling me away from taking them off ASAP without him knowing, the fishing line and goo-gone are sitting near my computer, just eager to meet these suckers. ahaha

 

the one on the left or the one on the rigth?

 

he said i can take it off before we head to san diego (after christmas). Thank god, and for xmas he is getting a rear sway bar from me =]
