Loogs good!

Can you get better coverage around the mirror? The squared off base looks funny in the pictures.

Not bad for $4 worth of peel and stick laminate from Lowes and 15 minutes of work...

I just wanted to see what it would look like... and I was triple dog dared. If I ever did it for real it would be with a automotive quality product and i would remove the mirror before applying the strip. I would also pull the head lights and tail lights so I could tuck the vinyl enter the quarter/fender.

Might I suggest as an alternative, a pair of discreet 8-inch-wide woodgrain stripes running up the front bumper, hood and roof? Sort of a Shelby Mustang meets Mercury Colony Park look...

Carpoolers ( ABC TV 2007 - 8 , somewhat related to the show Cavemen )

Carpoolers (TV Series 2007

There is a episode where they pimp out the car complete with spinners, maybe someone with a fast internet connection can find a pic. ( It might have been in the show lead in also )

Knowing it's laminate that looks awesome! I though you had bought the vinyl online.

I was wondering how he got the material so fast.

That's hilarious, I hope you at least leave it on for a few days.
