Yeah ring round, don't just do comparison sites. Admiral & Diamond are the same company, along with Elephant & probably a few more!

Nice loop btw :thumbsup:

soo picture and update time!

spent a good 6 hours wrapping some interior stuff today. defiantly underestimated how hard it was!

the seats were a bi*ch, still have another to do. probably going to have to redo the other again to

but the center console looks cool!
