Thanks, I understand that after walking back out and looking at my car. Unfortunate though.

One of the things that has always kind of thrown me off when I notice it is the way the door does not flow very well with the fender vent. I just don't like that one inch or so "drop" at the transition point. I think this would help hide that.

Plus stripes add HP!
I know. This really bothered me as well, but like you said it helped hidding it.

I like it, does anyone know what a clear coat would do on top of Plastidip? Just curious if you can get your glossy look that way.

Subtle, looks nice, easy to do and it peels off if you want to change it or you don't like it. What more can you ask for? Better than spending a few hundred bucks at the body shop IMO.
