    Coming Soon....
    Console, seat pieces, floor were done Feb 8th 2011.
    Badges were done Dec 23rd 2010.

    This update is for March 24 2011.

    First piece to go was the console. It got dinged from the passenger side, so I peeled it off right away (feb 14th).

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Today:

    [​IMG]

    This piece I always rubbed when I got out of the truck. It didn't take long to start peeling at the top as well.

    [​IMG]

    It is also splitting at the top here:

    [​IMG]

    This in the driver floor trim, it is still mint, even after being rubbed by the spiky Husky liner (i'm careful when getting in and out.)

    [​IMG]

    Driver rear still mint (no one has ever gotten in through this door)

    [​IMG]

    Passenger side rear floor (a few holes developing):

    [​IMG]

    Passenger side floor, I'm surprised this is all the marks there is, I guess my gf is more careful than I thought. It is under the liner.

    [​IMG]

    Cup holders and bottom of the console are holding strong. I'm careful about it.

    [​IMG]

    Driver badge, Still holding strong, rough around the edges from my bad peel job:

    [​IMG]

    Rear badges, holding strong, rough around the edges from my bad peel job:

    [​IMG]

    Passenger badge, easily my best badge peeled clean around the edges:

    [​IMG]

    This the top of the passenger badge, this is not noticeable from the side.

    [​IMG]

    So there you have it. I would recommend using it on stuff that isn't going to see a lot of physical contact.
