Took some not shitty/getting rained on pics today. Shows the color a little better.

I've seen you around didn't get a chance to BS. Love that color combo car looks good. I've been itching to dip mine but need more research. How difficult is the process?

Nice footage Chris! How do you have it mounted? There's a few things you can do about the vibration

make sure you do a lot of research before you dip it. Ive dipped a few cars now and its not quite as simple as most people believe. Dont get me wrong, anyone can do it...but to get it to correctly adhere, retain its simple remove-ability, and keep a smooth, even texture is a bit involved and time consuming.

That's what I'm nervous about. Everyone always says "oh it's easy and you can peel it off if it don't look right"
I have seen some butchered jobs and I'd be pissed at myself if I ruined the good paint on my car. Recommend a good website to gain some knowledge?

It was mounted to the hood using the suction cup.The issue is that the hood is too flexible,so I'm planning to make a new front mount by welding a tube to the bumper support that'll come out flush with the bumper cover,and I can work from there.
Really,I'm disappointed with the resolution.I got a new laptop with Windows 8,so I'm using Windows Movie Maker and like I've experienced before,it seems to compress the video too much.But,it's the only program on here,so I've got to do some research on something better.

Windows Movie Maker is crippling your video quality ten fold! I switched over to Sony Vegas Pro a long time ago and I'm beyond pleased with the video quality after jumping ship.
