Must be a cost thing. | Thanks for the reply Jimmy.
I tried to look for this Cellophane tape and I am thinking about trying it. Has anyone else out there tried this and if so, how did it look? Any recommendations were to get the cellophane?
BTW, The LED's on the Interior sound cool, think I am going to do this myself. Also went with a 35% tint all the way around and I really like the look. (exept for the wind shield, this seems pretty obvious but I'm sure someone would comment on it!)

Folks:
Not sure about the look although some of it looks great, but here is two suggestions. First try a wheelskins cover for the steering wheel, second try a C5 Corvette leather covers for the door pulls check(Mid-American catalog 97-04 Corvette)...... |

And for the record, most of that dash kit (and the steering wheel wrap) is gone now. |

Cleo is still hurling it, now with the Ravens, don't be bashing on him, as I bet he will have more yards than Favre this year. |
