Looks great and yes, wider would be better.

You never answered my question about the paint/tape line in the door jamb... I'm curious as my car is at the paint shop now. I took the entire car apart and sanded it myself. The painter initially wanted to paint it together, but I wanted a 100% factory repaint w/o any lines.

I'm sorry, since some of the car is just wet sand and reclear and other places like the rocker panels, mirrors and rear bumper are full paint, I don't see how I would have a problem but I will keep an eye on that for sure

Thanks Al
