doesnt look properly done..look at that white smear between the light and visor...and look at the edge of the headliner near the door..looks faded out...

is it just the pic?...

nice effort by the way! looks good overall

Yes the white smear between the visor and light is just reflection form the flash of the camera same with the edge. The only rubmarks are right on in the middle of the drivers side from where it rubbed up against the drivers headrest whrn was putting it back in, and one more somewhere near the rear of the liner.

did mine today.

used 2.5 cans of gloss black and .75 can of flat. My visors were different which made it easier and use less paint. 03's don have the slide out portion.

Needs lots of blue tape too!
