There are a few bubbles in the vinyl, which should go away w/time, and I had to smooth down the edges on some of the corners, but it looks pretty good to me.

Going to replace the clear/white side markers with smoked/black markers to give the sides a completely blacked out look; still have contrast w/the wheels. Am thinking about getting the black hood trim/grill too but not sure about that yet. Not a big fan of the completely blacked out look -- like a little contrast here and there -- but ordered the matte black grill/hood trim kit to see whether I like it or not. Only cost $55 to do that and can resell it for some $ back if I really don't like it.

Took the LONG way around on the drive back home from SJ -- 150 miles via 101/152/I-5 and the car is running really well. Solid as a rock w/now 92k miles on the clock. Love the car's high speed passing ability. Quickly goes from 70-80 to 110-120 to pass other cars in a flash. Motorcycle FAST!

Very, very cool!!!!

Very Impressive. Really great to see the transformation.
