    Got some plans for the ep as soon as I get a few days to work on her.
    Sweet! Sounds like a few fun projects!

    yea they do..but its not a few bucks...its like $20 from the stealership. Best part, you know what it is?? a custom cut strip of 3M vinyl...thats it. I could have gone out and bought 5 feet of vinyl from a local shop for like $15 and done both sides with more left over.

    Anyways, since I havent been around, on Friday I spent 3 hours trying to take that damned vynal off, cleaned up the rust under it and painted it with POR15, painted my B-pillar trim, window trim, and mirror base all with duplicolor trim paint to freshen em up. Also FINALY installed my SHG suede door inserts.

    And today, started it up after not driving it for the weekend, and installed my "JDM" shift boot with Di-NOCed trim ring. Also installed a cargo net in the trunk cuz my gf didnt want it in her car anymore.

    I was thinking the same thing about the vinyl, but I was suspicious because of how thick/stiff it seems (bought a used door that somehow has chips on it. )

    3 HOURS?
    To me, that sounds like more confirmation that it isn't just 3M vinyl... Maybe a thicker/automotive grade from 3M?

    You painted that area of the door with POR-15... like, the underbody kind?

    Another question:
    A "Di-NOCed trim ring," like a de-notched trim ring?
