He told me $26 total for 4 cans...not bad and it looks nice in person too. Feel rubbery to the touch. Not sure how long it'll stay on though. Also not sure how much of a PIA it'll be to remove.

This is a product that can be removed (or so they say )...so no sanding or primer. Just clean the wheels really well and apply 3-4 coats.

yea I got the compressor it's a nice one like in shops its on a stand. I just sent ottp a message about my order so I hope to get them by sat (at less the CAB's) not too worried about the sway bar. I guess if I don't get them, I get the pedders on and do the CAB's the next weekend right.

Sweet!

Was your brother able to find someone willing to lone out the cab tool?

Dave should swing over and join in on the fun

I get off work at 1pm on Saturday and will drive right over so I should be there around 1:45 Im guessing. P could head over earlier though...if he can get his ass out of bed before noon. All depends on what time you feel like starting. Im willing to help out on any of the car so if you want to wait till later in the day thats fine too. Im just guessing it'll take a while to do 3 cars.

Yeah, I know. I've said before it's a work in progress at the moment. Still better than it was before.
