Thx

Hey Christian,

Thanks for the nice compliment, it's an old car but it has been a joy to work with. Surely, a newer car would be great to own but there is a satisfaction to take what you already have and make the most of it. If I had to redo things, I probably would have went the route of wrapping my dash and doors in alcantara instead...but some things are only meant to be done once, at least when it comes to my patience.

Regarding the amberectomy, does anyone have extreme close up shots...Christian do you have pics? I like the clear look but I'm not a fan of jagged plastics or rough edges if that is the best that can be done to remove the amber. I often wanted to heat the covers of the headlight to separate it from the main portion to get at the amber. Has anyone ever done it that way? If I did that, I would probably matte black out a certain portion of the headlight as well to give it a more aggressive look. But that may be far fetch...I should have tested my idea on the old set of lights I had.

Next for me is to matte black my rims. I've kinda rendered out what I would like to do with it. I am kinda wondering if I should powder coat it or use the matte black vinyl to wrap the rims. The wrap is definitely less permanent if I decide I want to bring back the original polished rims...in my rendering I deambered the lights for you Christian.
