“To shield the side mirrors from rain droplets, designed to drip off from three separate points, sides and middle.” Does it work? Not really sure, doesn’t rain much here. Bought it mostly for the looks. Actually 95% for the looks.
Haha, no problem at all. Good question IMO. I just enjoy the look for the time being, I wouldn’t believe any fuel improvement snake oil or “downward force” from 3m tape canards. Stirring the pot? Only slightly.
Thanks for the comment Trevor! Haha, man you got me thinking about that license plate.. I left it on to perceive I have a front license plate for LE. But I guess it really probably doesn’t do anything different from not having one.
Lmao, first thing my gf did was sing this song when she saw it. She was not as impressed as I was with the look. ?
Hahaha yes extra aerodynamics. I can almost feel myself flying through the extra fluidity in the wind I created. Damper helps keep my air seals strong too, less drag. All 303 graphene’d for less resistance to the wind as well, slick as the wind they say. Fastest land shark in the west coast.Extra aerodynamics with the 303 Graphene he did last weekend.
Looks beautiful to me.Getting ready for the hate.Testing around some aesthetic things… only costed $50 if I decide to rip them off. Which I probably will eventually. Enjoy the catastrophe you are about to see. SHARK BOY TRUCK! Also plugged in the sequential turn signals. *puts on full body armor and grabs my damper to keep me safe* I’m ready, bring the comments.
Thank you Tracy!Looks beautiful to me.
?Getting ready for the hate.
SIR! STEP BACK FROM THE ADHESIVE BACKED PRODUCTS!?
Haha appreciate the good laugh and the nice comment, John.?
Just kidding! You continue doing you! Glad to see someone enjoying their truck so much.
Here's Duke practicing on his wife's car. Poor guy still doesn't know which color he's using.True North looked so good after the clay bar and a coat of Meguiar’s Detail Spray, it got me thinking about how great it would look with a fresh coat of paint. I KNOW, RIGHT!?
Brandon, @dondonbabyraptor , you should really pay attention here.
So, I did just that…
Dave @AzScorpion turned me on to this, so I knew it was a tried and true method. First, you need a few supplies. Cheap brush, paint tray, and a wiz roller - tray liner and drop cloth are optional but Dave recommends them for some reason. So, yeah, I used them too.
Use the brush for the initial application - back and forth, up and down criss-cross, it doesn’t matter at this point. Do the entire truck at once, none of this one or two panels at a time crap - it’s a time suck, and you’ll want to get out and show off your handiwork before dark.
For a showroom like finish (this is the most important step), apply the second coat with the wiz roller - don’t be afraid to use LOTS of paint and don’t worry about roller overlap marks - they’ll hardly be visible. Use long strokes with the roller from bumper to windshield, windshield to rear brake light, front headlight to taillight - you get the idea.
Most importantly, don’t use automotive paint - it’s a complete rip-off. Dave swears by Behr Direct to Metal Alkyd, so that’s what I used. Be sure to use DTM Primer as well. Maybe $80 all-in for all the supplies and paint. PPG can suck it.
I’ll post pics later, it’s still a bit tacky to the touch.
Good luck Brandon!
