So none of these pictured so far appear to be the latest matte black Aeroskin II I saw in a local shop that has an "extra" ramp-ridge across the front..........that supposedly helps to push bugs/rocks/crap up just a little bit more to avoid the windshield. Anyone have one of those and like it or hate it?

Carl, you and I have PM'd back and forth a couple weeks ago, and I'm still interested......... but was wondering if you ever filmed a video of the actual gauge face swapping process. I just want to make 100% sure I'm comfortable with tearing into it before ordering. BTW, did you post pic's of the carbon fiber gauges installed? That's the style I was leaning towards. thanks!

So did you put anything (PD glossifier, clearcoat) over the Plasti Dip after you were done with the color? I finally got to working on my emblems and didn't add anything as a final coat. Now it seems like if I rub the wrong cloth over them, they might get fuzz stuck in the dip, but they're still just a few days old, so maybe they'll continue to harden?

Looks like you took the whole assy out, so was that difficult? And I think what you're saying is you removed screws (2 of them?), and added in a washer in-line, between the 2 black sections.....is that right?

So, whoever has added vinyl to their plastic trim pieces, any suggestions/hints as to how to make good, wrinkle-free corners? I used heat, and had to experiment around to try and figure out when to use heat, where to use it, etc. If I used too much, the vinyl would get flimsy and wrinkle. If it was too cold, I couldn't "work it" enough to work out the wrinkles. Any and all suggestions are welcomed!

Yep, exactly.......so I can pop off JUST the silver trim part, leaving all the interior "guts" as-is?

So what's been your experience with the Plasti Dip on the front tie? Does it clean off ok, or have nicks/cuts in it from road debris that will require a re-apply? Same question for the side trim, although I bet that lasts a lot better, due to it's location.........

So has anyone found a good video of removing just the silver trim piece that goes AROUND the side air vents on a 2014+ ? One of Jorge's vid's mentions it in passing, but I'd like to remove it to vinyl wrap it, but don't want to pop out the side/fuse panel, then pop out the entire vent assy, only to find I can't separate JUST the silver outer part so I can wrap it easily. I also would rather not try to vinyl it in place......... Thoughts or suggestions?

Actually could have used 4, and super tiny fingers as well, but oh well. ;)

Man, I wish mine was as accessible as yours appears to be! I used this same screw in this same location, but on my 2017, I have MUCH less "access" to get the nut on the screw. So I had to simultaneously: 1) hold the valve in just the right open position so I could turn the screw 2) hold the nut in the perfect orientation with some needle nose pliers 3) turn the screw until it caught the nut.

Ok, so it's basically "locked down" in the highest/most-towards-your-seat position, it sounds like? I have mine all the way out/away (I'm 6'5") so will this method probably not do as much for me?

So the tie you added is the black one that runs "up" and over the metal hanger, and then over and around the entire housing? And does this still allow the pedal fore/aft positioning, or do you not have the adjustable pedals?

Nicely done! So did you just apply it to the cleaned pieces, or did you use heat at all? And when "popping" the trim pieces off, did you use a plastic tool and just start at the bottom (less visible if damaged) and work your way around each one?

Yeah, I'm interested in any additional "solidifying" or anchoring of the whole accelerator parts to whatever they can be anchored to. Any more input, pics or comments on what this might actually be referring to??

One of those Magic Erasers sold by the bald guy with an earring and white tee shirt works pretty well too.
