[OVERLORD]

I'm sure not a big deal to many, I've not done anything like this before.

Clay bar the hood with Dawn Dish Soap to cut the wax and remove imperfections.

Remove insulation, bumpers, and washers.

The installer is pretty inept .................................. In my mind's eye I likes it already!

Round one, boy does that look totally weird! Put a wrinkle in the material peeling it off the backing paper! CARP! Thankfully, in the warmth of the sun it seems to be disappearing. Crack a beer, and go out and squeegee it again.

Phase two about to begin, I'm thinking the hot sun would just make the install more difficult, in the gayrage!

Maybe one more squeegee'n and w'ell call it George.

I cracked up three times reading through this one.

As shared, I've never done anything like this before, a bit intimidated, probably did a bit of overkill in prep, and application. I hope it stays on. Not too happy with the company I dealt with. I guess it worked out okay. It was a birfday pwesent, so ordered it early. They claimed two weeks, maybe a bit more to process the order. It was closer to six weeks. They claimed two day shipping, nope, it wasn't., took much longer. I may have messed up, ordered flat black, got topo. At this point I wasn't going to make a fuss, as I had the product in hand. The topo will have to grow on me. All told, the install was not bad, again I think the prep work is key. I figure if I can do it, anyone can. There are some companies like Quadratech that offer hood blackouts that do not require the hood bumper and washer removal. I think they be nicer as you have them to align to. With this kit you do not. For the cost, it didn't come with any guidance, or any of the install tools which would have helped. Some generic points on the website. Other kits offer tools in their kits. Do I like it, yeah. Am I happy with the supplier, who will go unnamed due to their poor customer service, not so much. Gonna let it dry a bit, then put the bumpers back on. Not a bad job, nothing to be afraid of.

How do you say no? A buddy stops over with his bright red JL. as I'm doing the final Squegee. "DOOOD that looks sick, I got just the thing to finish it!" Rolls out, come s back with colored plastic bumper covers. "I got 'em and din't like 'em their yours DOOOOOOOD"! MMMMMMMMMMMM. Gotta learn to like the topo, and these too. A little too much for me. Maybe like the last interesting thing another buddy got me, they'll fall off. Regardless, color this job don!.

Looks good with those covers! Plays off the red tow hooks and red trim on the hood. Subtle style without being too much.

Thanks, my Buddy will be glad to hear this. "DOOOOOD, it'll be kickin''!" Being an ol' fart, I'm not sure what that means.
