Within the last couple of days I:

Bought & installed my OBD2 bluetooth transmitter
Bought a Android tablet then bought & installed toque

Tonight I'm going to take a stab at getting the Tablet mounted up and if all goes well take some video to share with you guys!:rockon:

Whoa!

So, tell us about this Plasti Dip Smoke stuff.
Does it work the same as regular, peel-able and all?

I've seen video of the glossifier and of the metalizer but not the smoke.

Spill the beans man!

Yes the smoke works the same, peelable and translucent rubber. It took about 6 or 7 coats to get it that dark though. I almost used a whole can on this project. I was doing light coats though.

Dropped my Jeep off at a body shop tonight, they're going to take care of some paint chips and dents, as well as fill some of the body on the left quarterpanel and re-spray the right quarterpanel from when I backed into a wooden fence.

I hope it turns out well, it seems to be hit-and-miss with these guys sometimes, especially with touch-up jobs. We'll find out when I pick it up on Wednesday.

I will also be taking it back to a different body shop next Monday to have some body repairs made on the driver's front and rear doors from when roadside assistance came out and unlocked my doors. The guy wasn't very good, and he ended up causing almost $1200 worth of damage. They finally accepted liability, so I should have the check this week.

The hood looks REALLY great. I have been thinking about Plasti-Dipping the center third of the hood, or the entire hood. Looks sharp and probably cuts down on glare. I have a bright silver as well.

Looks awesome! Great job! I still think I need to do something with my 5 cans of plasti-dip that are sitting in the garage, but I really like the stock look. Going over the black plastic is the only thing I'm really considering

ironkique, looks amazing, great job! Can you do me a huge favor? Could you please post a pic or two at night with the tail lights on? I'd like to see the light output. Did you remove the front and/or tail lights while spraying or just cover surrounding area?
