Per title, What did you to to the 6 today?!! Short, sweet, pictures ~ Post up!!
Where did you get the grill??Went to town with a can of Eastwood 2K clear and sprayed my new grill, intake box and center console parts. Which was the perfect amount of parts for one can of 2K. Install of grill should be tomorrow!
Looks like it's time to look into stretching those fenders! I really hope there is a way to make it work. I love those rims.Spent all day at an alignment shop waiting, only to be told at the end of the day that they couldn't align a car with stretched tires. I literally rub going straight on a road with no bumps. I do dumb things so you don't have to.
I have Gorilla Lugs and the key is very narrow; it fit into the holes on the Manarays which were so tiny I thought they weren't even going to work on our chunky wheel studs.Good lookin' out @HovA, those Gorilla lugs might work out for me. And they would add some security, throwing those and my McGard's on. I sent an inquiry to Tire Rack and they are gonna send me a thin wall socket for them free of charge... I'll see if that works. If not I might request they send me Gorilla lugs They definitely seem narrow enough but the width (O.D.) of the key would be important I suppose. I'll ask on Amazon, ppl are usually pretty good about hooking up with information.
What went wrong with the tint?HovA, I messed up lol. Film just isn't my thing.
If it worked out, I think it would have looked really good. Perfect amount of tint for me.
I feel ya! It took me 2 trys to get it right, but as they say...it takes a time to perfect anything. At least it's a cheap product. $6.00 as a learning experience aint' bad. I would suggest removing the tails from the car and try it again! I bet removing them will make it a lot easier to form the material. In the instructions I watched it mentioned having 2 people. Remember to soak both the film AND the tail light after placement then heat the film (this will force the moisture out) Then you can grab a squeegee and rub out the "wet" dots. For compound curves this may be helpful. I think mine may have turned out a bit better with one person on the gun and me (I burnt my hand a few times). You CAN do it!Too many curves and angles. Just couldn't get it right.

I have faith in you!
Repeated hits of the heat gun may be necessary to re-soften and re-mold the wrap. Be sure to wear gloves as the oil on your fingers WILL show up. TRUST me, a close look at mine will tell the truth.
BTW, I see you went with the heat gun instead of the hair dryer.....very good choice!
