Just make sure you do it all at once. Don't put dye over areas that have already dried because it's more likely to make it look spotty. I used this on all of my window trim and my roof rain gutters and they look much better. I'll be needing to do Eran's soon, but haven't recently been able to get enough time off.
Mother's Back to Black is a waste of money. You might as well just use baby oil.

how long ago was it that you did yours? may be interested in that product

why bother getting an actual wings west,its just a lip and its not meant for a del sol in the first place..you might have to do a little extra drilling/stretching to make it fit proper,why bother spending more for one?

Come on sasha, don't you know having a brand name make of the product is worth 10whp, a **** load of downforce and most importantly BLING points
never understood the facination with having to have virtually useless brand name body parts....when it comes to things like lips, bumpers....and dare I say wings
, the aerodynamic differences will be nearly zero and if it's made by a company that remotely cares fitment is generally good as well.

you know I never understood either..
the scene isnt what it used to be 10+ years ago,theres so much **** on the market now,nothings really rare/that hard to find now days with the exception of a few items..its like you'd be stupid not to take advantage of the hundreds of companies out right now competing for ur business..
Even all the replica wheels now days,the only reason I dont like/support most replicas is cause the finish looks like **** sometime and the stupid colors they haev out,not because it doesnt have stickers..

I don't support the replica wheels either, but only because a cast rim is no where near as strong or as light as a forged rim of the same design and size. It does however bug me when someone puts deacals/emblems on a knock off product to try and pass it off as real
on that

honestly,i dont believe in the forged rims bs..one of my te's has a slight bend in the lip and its forged,the previous owner doesnt even remember when/how it happened,thats how slight the contact must have been with whatever he curbed em on...I dont feel it when im driving and its barely noticable,but its there..
dont get me wrong,ive seen some off brand wheels crack like a pretzel when tested against new orleans pot holes,get welded,and crack the next day again..but rotas/drags,ive never seen/heard of anyone having a problem..I think I read one incident on here about a rota cracking really bad..but I also saw messed up skunk2 coilovers and mugen wheels as well.. im SO close to buying a set of spun cpfs on the cheap just because I want cpfs so bad but I kinda wanna keep the te's also
as far as emblems..yeah I agree thats lame,but its also lame how much emphasis there is on name brand stuff now days that some people will do that just to get noticed/feel like they have a bigger ***** among the honda community..

Hmm... It's probably been 3-4 months ago. I could have done it earlier, but it does get messy.
Wash the car first and then get a cotton cloth and the dye and some brake parts cleaner. The brake parts cleaner WILL NOT hurt your paint. I use it all the time to remove adhesive. It's one of the easiest ways to remove the dye too, even if it's dried on and has been sitting.
Don't be surprised if you find a light drip down the fronts of your doors where the water might normally run down. I washed mine and died it and it looked great. It rained some time after that and I got a light gray drip from the dye on the paint. Again, it just comes off with that brake parts cleaner.
Follow up with a wax for protection (or if your car needs it, a full detail - which I have a hand detail how to in my sig).
I would not recommend these products unless I trusted them on my own car.
I'll have to take some pics when I do Eran's car.
