they're fiberglass, so they'll require a LOT of "fitting."

all the times that i've dealt with it, i had to take the part off about 4 times to get it fitted right. i assume that's whats happeneing there.

Nice interior work xero! It makes that cobalt look even sexier! And the fenders are a nice touch!

yeah now i have gotten a few PMS on how i did my interior

1) remove parts you wish to paint
2) sand with 1000 grit sand paper you dont wanna take off all the paint just smooth it down
3) rinse with water
4) dry
5) primer
6) sand with 1000 grit and water
7) dry
8) spray down base coat of yellow
9) let dry
10) lay down another
11) let dry
12) clear
13) let dry
14) clear
15) let dry
16) let set 2 or 3 days
17) wet sand with 1000 grit again
18) dry
19) buff with rubbing compound
20) install back into car
21) enjoy!

this will not chip like cheap spray can
i used hot hues paint and a show gloss clear
iam fixing to sand down and repaint my whole car with the show clear and perl mix
