stuff only sat in the sun 1 day so far, but it looks pretty crappy. looks like when you were kid and swam in the ocean all day and have the wavey salt residue all over your arms. anyone go thru this? am i being too damn impatient?

Default My brother applied that stuff to his headlights and from what I remember

it took a good few days to go away. I'm thinking like 3 or 4.

Kinda like tinting your windows...takes a week for the adhesive stuff to dry.

that's sorta what i figured but it looked SO much worse on the lights. you can actually see the little bubbles up close. hopefully they'll be gone by the New Demensions show on Sunday. if you haven't gotten your ALMS yet, good luck on a speedy sell and new aquisition. i love mine to death and i'm sure you will too.

Default Thanks...my TT is coming within the next couple months. Landed a job

but I gotta actually start it first, and THEN I'll be making some real money...

I guess a degree is good for something!

(I graduate on the 23rd)
