Ahhh, all clean!

Ruffian was looking a bit dusty-grimy so she got a good bath today, some spray wax/quick detailer, and her wheels scrubbed. I got some Black Wow for the trim which I plan to apply either later today or tomorrow.













She looks so good I don't really wanna drive 'er, I just want to sit & stare.

Looking good, Friday! Stripes look nice, too! Can I ask if you did them yourself, at the dealer, or found an independent installer?

Thanks Dodgy! I got the idea for the stripes through the forums here but had an independent installer apply them for me. I had enough issues installing a simple screen protector on my cell phone, I figured I'd leave the bigger more important job to a pro.

Haha--I hear ya. I think I'm going to go the same way. Did they provide the stripes or did you purchase them separately?

They provided the stripes. All told it was $160 for vinyl + labor.
