Something went wrong. I don think this would happen to everyone. The other side is still looking good. I think the adhesion promoter dried before i got this area painted because the other areas of this panel seem to be really stuck. I thought i would post this experiment so everyone could see how forgiving or not this stuff is. Also if you use the semi gloss you wouldnt even see the flaked areas.

The Ingen logos are about 2 inches wide and i think the red really works. I also did some touch up paint work on the black parts of the jeep. After the ebay jeep we all know good looks sells so i am deviating from screen. I also have a idea about a fuel can in the rear bumper. I wont keep fuel in it but water, fuel will get stolen. It needs to fit within the bumper loop but finding that size might be a problem. Anyone know of a can/jug that fits?

I have A/C. I was able to remove the front passenger speaker by simply reaching up behind the dash.

Looks like I need to lower the windshield and maybe unbolt the dash to get to the driver side.

No, never!!! I would rather own a $8000 dollar car vs a $6000. Wouldnt you? If it only takes some touching up why not?

the driver side speaker will take some work to get out. I agree that it looks like the windshield needs lowered and the dash pulled out to get to it. I think i am passing on this project because my factory speakers still have foam and some new speakers would not be that noticeable or sound that much better. I need to think of something else to do.

Can you show the side depth of the fog lights? Trying to find a suitable replacement and worried about the depth.
