Also nice to see someone else works in Nike flip-flops.

Thanks for the props.
What I did on the kick vents was tape them off and shoot on both sides. I only caught about 2 inches of the kick vents as it was. I followed the line of the firewall. I did not shoot the kick vents themselves I did shot the side wall. Does that make sense? As for the Nike flip flops, They are standard FJ Fixin attire.
Hey I took A pic How's that for service!

Thanks! I have been debating about if I want to go all the way up or possibly do something like you did. I appreciate the pic - GREAT SERVICE.

So does the Duplicolor stuff really stick like the professionally applied products? Some pro products use heat as they are applied. Also, anyone use the SEM stuff?

Colorado-
AWESOME job and opinions and suggestions!!! Thanks for all the great pics and info. I would imagine Ill do mine as soon as it's sandblasted, may take the "easier" route as far as getting to bare metal..

Pics will follow..

That looks great!!

I have always wanted to redo the white on the hardtop with a product like that. But it might be a pain to keep white, cause it holds all the dust in the divets of the texture.

Good luck. Be sure to apply it very liberally. I almost want to shoot more still. There are a few places where it has chipped off. It touches up pretty easily though. Looking forward to the pics
