Slowly but surely...
Just waiting for more time to get things done on the car but for now I figure I would change up the inside a touch. The gray/tan interior everywhere is nice but nowhere near my flavor
Now I need to figure out how to remove just about everything else in the car. Any tips from people?
Also gonna get some blue in there and have a blue/black theme with it. Just one of those things

Um, wow. I hate to say it but that doesnt look clean at all. It looks like you just popped the pieces out and shot them with a rattle can without any prep or anything. I'd order a carbon dress up kit ASAP.

Ehhh not a carbon fan IMO...but I know its not the best job but they were sanded down to remove texture (top parts) and the clear needs to sit for a bit longer thats why it seems fuzzy/bright

just wait for it all to start wearing/chipping off, then you will really regret it. I respect that you wanted to do somehting diffrent, but i dont think you planned it out too well

Definately rubbing compound. A for effort. Problem with doing these parts is you have to make sure any armor all/cleaning stuff you have ever used is gone. Then need to get some fine grain sand paper and lightly sand the pieces and primer and paint. I did parts over and over the fast/wrong way till I finally took the time to do it wright. Here is couple pics of how mine turned out. And the link below with tons of pics, might give you some more ideas. Most people wouldn of even bothered so keep trying.

Hmm dunno guys. Used my mouse sander with 320grit and then 6 and 800wet, cleaned it with 75/25 water alcohol mix, dried it with the hairdryer, grey primer (its what I had), black gloss....Nothing different from what I did in my bagged ranger just rushed...like I said not the best job but its just for now
But does anyone know removal on the other pieces?
Oh and the sign. LOL...keeps me busy on the highway with the long drives

Dunno mesa. Not necessarily the biggest fan of CF kind of texture but its tasteful IMO. Guess it all depends on what you are going for...
Personally id rather have a ride I know is customized and different than a ride full of bolt-on goodies that everyone will have.
Thats why the blue inside the truck interior...
