Dare I ask what color it is? And how'd you find a girl to actually buy you stuff for your car even on a ridiculous holidy like Valentine's day? I'd be lucky if my girl got me something for my car even for my b-day... but I guess that's the whole jealousy thing.

you have to clean it for good adhesion. i just used regular alcohol to take all the oily stuff.

very nice pat. i wouldn't personally do it because i think it looks too old for me. i want to see if i can find a silver finish or something, it would go nice with my dark grey interior

I'm actually quite impressed... I didn't think it'd turn out that good... but whatever happened to that radio part? How much do you want for it?
