thanks, those last pics are rally something, you are my new hero, MT Rushmore eligibility i'm sure
I'll do a how-to if you guys want. give me sometime to do this though.

stripping it was fast, wetsanding depends on the condition of your hood, mines took maybe an hour of wetsanding, and then buffing it to a shiny finish

I think if you had the aluminum roof (MR/SE/RS) and polished it, also the rims could be shinier you'd really have the look.

But I give you props for innovation, and I still think its cool looking as is.

I kinda like it.

I didn't like the 1st pic, but then when you finished it and updated the pics, actually looks hot.

I know! damn, I wonder if it would be hard to convert mines to an aluminum roof
