Don't forget to lightly sand them at the end. It's worth it though.

From what I've heard, the trunk doesn't really fade because of the kind of clear they use.. But the hoods and spoiler center piece will.. My hood is faded BAD.. Regardless, it's cheap enough to re-clear.. Do it.. If you think you don't like the trunk, then trade it to me for my black one..

Deffinately shade the tails a bit. maybe cut out the reverse circle for a cleaner look. deffinately get some good clear coat or you will be kicking yourself in the ass for not doing it later
