Applied these the other day. Ordered them from American Muscle. I think they turned out pretty good!

Yeah same here, I take her out two days a week. Any two days as long as its not raining plenty of sunshine and never ever during heavy traffic hours in Miami.
Drivers down here don't know how to drive a car much less obey local traffic laws.

:(
I have been on sabatical from the forums, so I know I am late to the party, but I have to chime in on keeping your car clean/neat and undamaged. I pretty much drive mine every day except when it is pouring rain or I have to haul a bunch of stuff. Yeah, it's unerving sometimes, but I got the car to drive it and understand the risks.. I do my very best to park far far away, but I am always amazed when someone will park next to me in the far back with an ordinary car when there are a ton of spaces open closer..doesn't happen often but occassionally.

Wet sanded and buffed the roof and trunk.

Only one side and the rear bumper to go.


Shit takes forever.

I've thought about doing mine as well. But wasn't sure how much clear coat was on it. I think for what they coast and what your buying a little more TLC would be spent on the clear coat. My 2011 Sonata has a better finish than my 2015 S550. What did you wet sand with? say 1800-2000 and water?

I start with 3000 to see how much I need to take down. If the peel is high then I move to 2000 then 3000 then 5000.

Two stages of buffing compound and then sealer. As soon as that cures then wax. Probably about 2 hours per panel by myself.

Sealer takes 24-48 to cure though.
