Also, I want to note how much of a pain in the *** it was to get the cats off. Had it up on a lift, using 3000000 extensions and swivel bits, breaker bars and it still took a good hour and a half.

Did rear bumper tuck today.
Cars front end will be covered in gloss black vinyl in the coming weeks to make it look perfect.
Coilovers, Spacers, new seat covers and new tires soon.

Just repainted my door pieces (where switches are)
- I sanded them down with a low grit sandpaper, wiped them down with mineral spirits.
- Primed them with plastic filler primer, sanded then cleaned again
- Painted with Duplicolor high gloss engine paint (Yes I said engine paint on plastic, the reason for this is its self leveling ability, how the particles fuse with eachother to make one solid uniform layer)
- Wetsanded with 1000 grit then 2000 grit, wiped with mineral spirits
- Painted on with a sponge brush a mix of 40/60 mineral spirits to urethane clear coat
- wetsanded with 2000 grit, buffing compound and then wax.
It looks perfect, like something out of the factory if not better imo, its also very scratch resistant and hard as a rock.
I will post pictures of them installed tomorrow
