what did you use? did you wetsand? i used some model tint, i forget what brand. it worked really well and is holding up too, BUT i didn't wetsand, so mine definitely doesn't look as "smooth"...it looks more cloudy or smokey.

Main thing I'm not feeling is the black lip with grey skirts. Not really sure what I would do to tie them together. Black trim on the bottom of skirts? Car has definitely come a long way though!

it really does look good, i think, but the weather stripping removal/occasional leak could bother some, and the driver's side sits up a bit, sometimes i just shove it down and yell STAY...it doesn't work though...........
