I've seen several but figured I could also throw my hat into the ring.

I need to redo it as some spots weren't quite perfect.

Few bits of advice.
-Prep is your friend. Get tape, news paper. Be ready.

-Watch the videos. If you think you know what to do watch it again.

-Don't be cheap with the dip. Its way easier to work with when it's thick vs it's to thin.

-Lock the kids up if they're young because they are magnetically attracted to the wet grill.

-Microfibers are your friend for clean up.

Overall. Very happy with the results. Was originally going do the rims and trim with the copper metallizer but maybe another time. Have my angry sedan for now. Still looking into rims but due to Alberta's economy I'm hesitant to start throwing money around.

Great results can indeed be had from dip, temporary or temporary+ ...  Your car is proof of that :thumb:

First time I've actually seen your car, RagingPenguin!  Or at least it's been quite a while :)  Hope it is running well now, treating you good.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Fresh fluid in transmission cleared my mystery sound. Figured when the tune made the noise vanish line pressure was the fix. So when fluid was hot and noise returned new fluid was worth a shot.

I expect a new transmission in the future but so far it's good.
