So I'm back from the woods for this sunday only. Will be getting back tomorrow.
However, I thought it would be great relaxing to continue this mod.

I know people have done the black tips much simpler way, but I try to make them last as good as possible, and that's why I'm doing this the "time consuming" way . I am about to put another layer of heat resistant paint on again and maybe I'm able to install them tonight. If so, I'll take some pics .

Here are couple of greetings from work.

Konnunsuo (Shire's Bog) was the name of the location. How appropriate .
Pic and video were taken at 00:02am with my cellphone.



Video clip from the same location.

So I got it made.

This morning I sanded them with a 600 sandpaper, put another coat of paint and heated them. Then I went to wash the car and install them. Looks ok to me .

Sanded:


Wrapped for transportation :


I love the Autofoam:


Cleaning the naked tips carefully:


Hmmm... I think this fits right there :


Putting the tips back on was a bit kinkier job than taking them out. You have to twist the tip to the opposite direction when a clip holder comes near the edge of the exhaust to get some space for it. Like in this pic I had to twist the tip down:


After(math) :








I need that trunk finisher LOL!
Installing it maybe in a week when I'm back again and have got it from the paintshop --> finishing Part 6 then.

looking sexy man!

its a great compliment to your theme of your car

I love it!

btw dont put a trunk spoiler on your car, i like the roof spoiler and that is enough to make it look aggressive but classy
