I don't think anyone disagreed with you. No one is sure that it's going to fix the problem is the thing. I will definitely post the results.

More interested in the electrical issues tbh.

I guess we'll see what happens. Dude, I really wanna get my parts installed... ughhhh.

D&V has the car. He said there's probably not a whole lot that can be done but they certainly won't make it look any worse

Flat spot but you have to look for it.

That's awesome man! Hopefully they can do something with mine too.

dmhenderson · 10-06-2012, 03:35 PM

Call and ask for Kevin and tell him that I recommended him (use my first name - David)

Should also mention he charged me $0.00 for the whole process plus they offer competitive powder prices. Saw a set of GT-R wheels coming in powdered while I was waiting and did a double take. They were impressive.

Mike is still the guy but if you want to do wheels or something that's not easy to ship, this shop is the real deal.

eastwest2300 · 10-07-2012, 01:48 PM

Its hard to tell the difference in the pictures, but does it look better than it did before?

dmhenderson · 10-07-2012, 01:53 PM

Now it's a smooth flat spot on my light that you really have to look for to notice. Before that it looked like a piece of aluminum foil had melted my light housing...or something.

eastwest2300 · 10-07-2012, 01:55 PM

Good stuff man, Im glad it worked out, thats what a good buffing compound will do for ya.

birdmanx1 · 10-07-2012, 08:12 PM

Look a WHOLE lot better DM

Sales@AAMComp · 10-07-2012, 08:22 PM

nice!

MyKindaGuise · 10-08-2012, 03:21 PM

Got to plastidipping some stuff this weekend... keeping that blue theme going..lol

b1adesofcha0s · 10-08-2012, 03:27 PM

Let me know how that plasti dip lasts in the engine bay. From my experience, plasti dip does not like a lot of heat. makes it much harder to take off. Though goo gone still works pretty well to remove it.
