Sounds good. I wanna come over and check your jeep out. Whenever you need a hand let me know I'm always down to help out as long as I'm not working. I'm already working on setting up a toolbox/tools for at home only haha

Just finished reading the whole build thread....totally awesome.

PlastiDip question. I know that you just shoot around emblems and such, but did I read in here that you didn't even take off the windows and taillights and such? Does it just peel off the weatherstripping and lenses?

Thanks.

Thanks for checking out my build. Yes it peels right off of lenses, weatherstripping pretty much anything. It's alot easier to peel most things than it is to tape them. For example, if I were to do my whole jeep I would tape part of the windows (more in the center) only to save from wasting too much product, then just peel the rest. The dip will separate itself at all the seams and do a much better cleaner line than if you used tape.

Honestly, I like the napiers more. I'll really know when I get them on though. But I got these for such a good deal I really couldn't say no. I know If i didn't go get em today they would be gone. They are in good shape and I have all the trim and hardware even extra. They have a few scuffs here and there but that's no big deal. I'm sure I'll beat em up enough too. I'm debating if i should paint them with this just to clean em up... I'm looking at installation videos now haha

Woot Woot! I think they are gonna end up being plasti dipped... Haha. This way they can easily be repaired if damaged. I don't want to have to sand away at paint. And of the dip doesn't adhere correctly on the material it's a simple as pulling it off.. If the paint lays like crap I'm screwed! Lol

They are cut out flares not pocket also..
