If any of you guys out there are thinkin of puttin on the Black abs facia in the rear or thinkin of a new front end look....this stuff is so easy to use.

I taped off where the rear facia would cover and painted this stuff on in the wind and cold....

It rubs right off or can be pressure washed off but rain and road water is not suppose to take it off.

It is a dull black almost dark grey it goes on easy adn smooth and gives the apperence of the sticker or abs piece actully bein on the car.

Now I know there are some guys that will argue but all I am sayin is this gives you an idea if your new item will look right with your cars theme and it only cost 7.99 per can so instead of wastin hundreds of dollars on somethin your not sure if it will look right try this out.

Just wanted to pass on my finding.

Pictures of mine will be posted soon

That product was demonstrated with pics by a couple of members here when it first came out. A couple of guys had some problems with it sticking to panels that had certain polishes/waxes already applied to them. I just PS'ed the black rear on existing pics of my TR coupe.









Still couldn't decide . . .

Both look nice, but if you don't know which one to choose, save your money until your sure. I prefer the red.
