    I took the square piece out of the drivers side arm rest, atleast it’s there in my 99 AC.

    Are you saying cloth would be better cause it isn’t shiny or something?

    Had this problem at Home Depot a lot, color matching is tough when the sample has a faded spot or a weird texture. The vinyl at the base of the door is hidden from sun a pretty flat.

    That’s why I took the piece in... in the store it looked like a perfect match ha...
    I guess I’ll just have to give that a try. Might just go back to Black, I guess the saying is true. It just shows sooo much dust....

    The machine matches by photosensor in its own little lightbox, but yeah if you're matching by eye in a store it can be a shitshow.

    Dont be suprised if road rage/rear ended occurs to you.
    Or the cops pull you over. Having people thinking your always on your brakes. Along with local dot standards.

    I did it about 5 years ago and then recoated em about 3 months ago. It started to get amber. I did not not clear coat them either time.

    Before the new coat

    Might be all the dust from sanding but Maybe? 20171031_223611.jpg

    I want to but I'm not certain its going to really benefit me. Not planning on jumping any time soon but if I want to follow the rzrs probably wouldn't hurt.
