Also, I have to say it makes me smile that my attention to detail and craftsmanship is better than a body shop that has the proper tools to do what I've done to my car. I smoked my tail lights over a year ago. One of them was damaged in the accident. the body shop attempted to do what I did and failed miserably. Drips in clear, fish eyes, etc. I'll make that shit look factory again though.

Before I get flamed for having smoked tails, they are not blacked out, they are smoked. They went from fire engine red to candy apple just reduce the amount of "BAM! IN YOUR FACE RED" to subtle.

To keep things going, today is good because well, the cars are home......and I changed my contacts this morning. I can see and my eyes don't look like Snoop Dogg's this morning. Small victories.
You've given me the impetus for detailing/tidying mine KR and I'll start with giving it a good hoover!
