I hope what i am seeing in the pic will clean off .

That is "installer error"...screwed up a little with the glue I used. But I have a way to remove it.

These guys do an incredible job and the Nappa leather is really high quality.

Picked up a Race Red black accent package, would racing stripes looks off with he black roof? I know it would look wicked without the roof but was wondering how people thought it would look with the black roof as well.

How long did all that take you? Looks great, even in the cell pics. :cheers:

I've been using autoscrub lately. It works great, but you have to be careful. It has a tendency to mare the paint.

Not directed at me, but mine took me under 5 hours, which included one good wash, and a quicky wash between clay and seal. All by hand. Can't help but wonder if a DA polisher would have saved me much more time. I doubt it would, but I think it would be easier to get more uniform coverage.

Also, I used a technique where I applied sealer to a panel, then wiped down the previous panel, then sealed the next panel, then wiped the previous panel, etc. This was to let the sealer dry enough (like shining shoes), to get a good result. Was kinda tricky keeping up with the pattern, plus rotating the MF towel to a fresh side (out of 8 total sides from a dual-folded towel).

I think you should choose one or the other. RR with black roof looks great, and with black accent package would look even greater.

So, skip the stripes, IMO. It will look too busy. The black roof will look like it was all part of the accent group.

Wow, I do like seeing my car clean but I don't know that I have that type of dedication. I get bored and tired if I'm still cleaning my car after 45 mins. Usually I just do a hand wash with the Adams products and then I'll do guard and gloss.

Took some proper pictures... makes me realize how badly I need to lower it. Also, the PP wheels are insanely hard to keep clean. Ugh.

Terrible color! Kidding car looks great.

Installed a UPR catch can on my two day old car!

Yeah - they are difficult. I'm pretty sure the break pads are not helping any. Serious dust for me on my 15 GT/PP.
