With fresh paint like yours I think I’d try something like you linked to to at least try to help things and having had my sills done and seen how quickly they pick up chips I’d probably have those done too. Beyond that I don’t think I’d bother.
Yep, I want to keep it presentable but I can't care too much about it. I'll order one of those cut outs and see how I go.
Anyway, picked it up yesterday, looks good to my very untrained eyes. I did find something that I had flagged which wasn't done, so it will unfortunately have to go back for an afternoon when it's a bit warmer! No big deal though, on the whole I'm pretty happy (bear in mind I was loathe to spend any money on the look of the car, I don't care that much about that :cry: :? ). Done now though, rust was one of my kind of concerns and drivers to do it which I needn't really have as it turned out (other than underneath the door mirrors). Peace of mind though and very shiny :)

This is taking weight reduction to another level! I bet it would go and sound awesome like that :driving:

Finished version looks much nicer though :thumbsup:

The before and after photos are amazing. I really like your choice of wheels for this car, the design is kind of similar to HD wheels gear all and MSR models.

Btw, you have to replace those tires since they look worn out.
