Yesterday was a long day. Here is all i did.

I have been working on the prepping of rear lip for a few days after work and then yesterday finally threw the paint on and clear coat.

After the last coat of filler primer.


Then gave it a couple of coats of black primer so that the paint could covver up better.



Mixed the paint up.

After the base paint.

After the clear coat.


While the lip was drying I took my whole interior out.




Changed the color of the carpet, with this.


Before and after:

After:







My old man is a Contractor so he brought me some sound deadening he had left over from some apartments he is remodeling. He brought more than enough to do the whole interior and best part, it was FREEEE!!

I fixed a dent that i have had in the roof ever since i got the car.


Then I wrapped the roof.








I also changed the O2 Sensor since it was giving me a CEL and fuel economy was horrible. The car was making 16mpg in city. After i changed it, it went from 27mpg highway in a 360 mile trip to 31 mpg in the same trip back. Still need to calculate mpg in city after the new sensor.



And finally, this arrived today.

Interested to see the city mpg. What wrap did you use, 3M 1080, and why not paint it? Look good either way.

Nice,  I'm trying to decide which route I'm gonna take next spring, Either repaint or a full wrap. If wrap,  1080 comes in about 20+ color& texture options.

Based on the information I know, I'd say wrap it Rich. Not only is it cheaper, it doesn't chip like paint does.
