Do a bit of research, but in the end, buy a good quality brand as it will last longer wear better stretch more and be easier to lay. 3M, Avery, Hexis are all good brands. There are probably a couple im forgetting on top of that.

[spetz]

Which one of those is the best?
I am leaning towards 3M as it seems like the easiest to source

[dstocks]

You can get Hexis via stickithome (google it). Couldnt say which is best. Seems to be different people like different ones. All 3 are good quality.

Put door and sideskirt on, finished the door sill and temporarily fitted rear bar to see how it looks. Havent gotmy new fenders back yet, so they are currently missing:

F**k, that looks good.

[spetz]

[Astron_Boy]

Farkin tops.

[bass_twitch]

Wow. Looks fantastic!

[Technikhaus]

great job so far!

[adzski]

Very nice dwayne, reminds me of the bayside blue on skylines.
But I think this is a tad darker. Great work can't wait to see it finished.

[Chebus]

that is going to be one sweet looking car!

[dstocks]

Yeah, im loving the colour. An exact match for what I was originally looking for. Funny that Bayside blue was mentioned as if I had gone down the paint route, thats the colour I would have gone with. Also pretty damn close to the colour of the Kaze fenders I originally got from Japan:

FCK!!!!!
Dwayne, I think you are quite set with your retirement plan side business. Not only is the colour coming out brilliant, it has a perfect finish to the work.

[Technikhaus]

Just hurry up and finish your custom rear lights, the colour clash of the stock lights is horrible IMO

[dstocks]

I dont mind the red against the blue actually. But yes, have to finish them. Need cash for the lenses though and also for the mods required to the rear bar as the bits covering the taillight will need to be cut out and refinished.

That blue looks so awesome now that the light is hitting it. I reken keep the white wheels however, they add that bit of offset which makes the car stand out

[rock_it]

Can I be next??

[Astron_Boy]

Can I be next??

Get in line.
Having said that, we have panel repairs needed first.

[dstocks]

Take a number........ Let me finish mine and then we'll see where we go from there.

Hmmmm, not convinced, I think its just a little too much of a contrast. but that will be the last job,so will see what the rest of the car looks like first.

Did the front bar this weekend:













Now for the other side of the car
