    So glad someone finally made a video about this. I’ve had the materials in my garage for months now I’m trying to block off some time to take care of the rear and front bumper. I did paint match my own fenders, but for some weird reason the paint companies sent me a mid coat, which I didn’t notice until I was completely done kind of made the ceramic white a little yellow and sparkly. I ended up ordering a set from Aeroflowdynamics.
