Nice work ! Everything looks so clean !

great numbers too !

Mac : this is way smaller than your gti golf. This car has the size of a Geo (remember the Punisher here ?!!).

BILTD i have a question.

Do you use the silentcoat 2mm or 4mm?

Did you get better results with silent coat or second skin? (i mean less loud on the outside, less flex,..)

4mm.

Not much between them.. I do like the Silent Coat bumpy backing, you can tell if you missed a bit when rollering the surface. Plus its better overall on price too.

surprised that car isnt poppin wheelies wt all that weight in the back lol..

good stuff though
