    ha my fiancée said the same thing and also has a delphin. The problem is vinyl is just a standerd color and looks funny on cars that have metalic paints. unless you have sterling silber W/black checkers on it (ClavinZero) . I wanted satin black vinyl but i dont think they make it.

              Looking good, I really like it!

              BTW: Did you paint the grills and kidneys flat black? What kind of paint?

              Thanks!

                I dig it, different and subtle. Ties the roundel and the plate together in a tasteful way. :pimp:

                            both were cracked and one has a hole in it. But i might use the method for my tail lights because the clearcoat is fading from when i painted the corners red.


                            CaHomey we should play music and do a photoshoot this saturday.

                              would wet sanding work on plastic?

                              P.S. I know the writing in my sig is off. The only working computer thats not a PS3 is retarded, I bearly got the pic in it.
