Who did the headliner? That came out really nice. I know they're a bitch to get right too.
Damn it's looking good right now. The wide trim looks good on there too.

Thanks! We did it here at ISP.
My buddy Randy stopped by and sent me the photos below. The white steering wheel is just the move around wheel.

| You've done so much in less than 2 years of ownership. This car definitely found its way to the right owner. |

I can only take credit for a few things. Alex and ISP have really done 95% of it. Can't thank them enough.

Originally I didn't want to go this far for that reason. I enjoy my Squareback because I can take it to the store and not worry if I get another door ding or scratch. My plan is to use this one as much as I can. At the end of the day, life is short and it's just a car.
Use 'em!

I keep telling the wife the same, her car has been done since 2005 and has around 4000 miles on it since then. She got her first rock ding a couple weeks after it was done, 2 hr road trip to a car show, one of the guys we were travelling with tossed a rock off his trailer tire.
My square is much easier to use as a daily.

It's earning it's stone chips with pride? Or will the shovel handle do more damage?

I randomly found this picture while in the gallery. Whoever it was created an account, uploaded it, and then never signed in again.
