That is good news Doreen. I remember when I changed my worn shockers in my old car, I could not believe how much better it rode.

Did it cost you much?

I almost snapped my neck on the train this morning cause I thought I seen your car in front of the dealer. :P

Glad everything is ok.

I go to the same one, I have had nothing but praise either.
Love that car!

Close range.... nice and smooth.

this is the worst one, 5 small creases along the main edge that the vinyl gathers over the curve, and a little bit "bent" where i did a bad stretch along the red yellow border
Image

overall very happy with it.

@ VRX_Pete - love those CF pillars, does it block your airbags?

They don't block the airbags Doug.

When the airbags deploy it actually knocks the plastic pillars off to allow the airbag to deploy. They have a small piece of plastic which stops the pillar from flinging off and hitting passengers.

If you want a different texture, you can use Neffy Wrap as well. Probably a bit easier to do the B pillars with as it is a fabric.

Congrats Hoges, I'm a long way off, I owned my last car outright and it's a good feeling, it took a long time to dive into debt again, I have no regrets though!!
