    Just do it, no issues what so ever. I get compliments on it all the time and I sprayed this right after I finished the sas which was about 4 months ago and it still looks as clean as day one and has never been washed. I like the silver cause it almost looks like really clean carpet.. I used Raptor Liner on mine around 42psi. Ive used different pressures and liked them all but this was the best but also was with a new compressor and that just seemed to be the sweet spot with it. I can go take more pics if need be also I did it with 2 bottled as that's all I had left from my multiple kits I had. you can get away with 3 in the cab.. Don't need to focus quite as much under the seats and the rear seats that are bolted to the cab floor. I put the majority on the front seat floorboards

    Great white took a bite out of a trunk lid today :eek:
    Hate morning traffic here and all the brake happy people, matched with going downhill and wet roads with mud tires and its a recipe for destruction.. Luckily the police weren't called and they just let it ride :confused::confused:Offered to get them a new trunk though

    Yes! Very lucky indeed. I said the same thing.. First thing I asked was that they were ok then I asked them to pull off the main highway into a parking lot.. Once there I asked if theyd already called and they said they called their boss and she was on the way so I figured id just let it ride and see what happened with that before police were called

    No offense but a comparing that to a 2jz is like a 2 year old challenging a gorilla to an arm wrestling match.

    Also no offense again. but you need a BOV ASAP or that cheap eBay turbo is gonna die soon from the fluttering.

    I have no doubt your setup compared to stock is awesome. But IMO you still have a lot of work to dial it in to make it safe.
