lmao i wish i could. what been buggin me is trying to find a way to mount the lip kit on the car, without it being pushed on all the way on the front and rear bumper. I did a quick fit and the holes and clips fit so perfect, that if it was pulled out a bit from the bumper, the side of the front bumper pieces wont fit in the hole at all, so i have to play with it to see what I can do.
But finished parts are starting to pile up in my room

hmm, gotta remember. took like an hour to get headliner, sunvisors, sunroof, all plastic headliner parts/switches/ etc. out. Took like 4 cans of SEM black colorcoat and like 2 hours of spray dying. Rest of the interior trim around radio controls popped out in like 5 minutes. Then just scuffed with a scotch bright, hit with adhesion promoter and sprayed

its not installed yet so we'll have to see when i put it all in. But i realized i never sprayed any adhesion promoter on it. That was a rookie mistake on my part. That stuff really helps that paint adhere and last on plastic. If it chips im just gonna have to remove it and scuff it up, spray adhesion promoter and hit it again. Id recommend you try that too, even get some rattle can satin clear to spray over the top of it if you need to. That will add some protection to it
