The vinyl on my B pillars was in horrible shape so I bought some new matte black vinyl off eBay and got to work today. Still needs to be trimmed a bit but the difference is night and day

How was the install? Mine are already stained with Georgia clay.

Took it to scout camp with my son and left it parked for the weekend while we sweated out butts off! No pictures.
Congrats! Where did y'all go to camp?

This is the first year I haven't been to camp in over 10yrs. My 2 oldest sons have Eagled and I was supposed to go to Philmont with one of them this year and our trip got called off the week 4-days before we were scheduled to leave due to wildfires. Have rescheduled for next summer.

Still have a 3rd son in his second year of Boy Scouts. It has been a great experience for all of them!

So, when I got to the guys house he mentioned there was this greens **** on his wheels. So i was kinda upset actually but bought them like an idiot anyway. I did some research and apparently it was just heavy oxidation. They sat in his garage for 7 years i think and just collected dust. So i did some research on cleaning "chrome" and a lot of people suggested using a clay bar and some suggested SOS pads. I went with the SOS pads. Came out real good... obviously they aren't brand new but they are a hell of a lot better looking.
They look awesome and I plan on doing that to my wheels which are only 2 years old. They aren't oxidized but they could us some love. You did a great job on those though

Order placed for core 4x4 upper/lower rear control arms to eliminate the awful wheel hop issues.

I'm very interested in your results. Would you let us know if they stopped the wheel hop?

It was fairly easy. Took me about 20/30 minutes for my drivers side. I measured and made cutouts beforehand. I’m working on the passenger side and I’m actually starting to like how it looks without the vinyl all together.. I’m torn [emoji24]

Yes sir. I plan to do a small write up on them. Jay Greene and Matt from Moe’s both speak highly of the core control arms.

Don't forget you are polishing plastic. Get too carried away with a polishing cone in a drill and you might heat it up too much and end up doing more damage to it.

I hope you won't ***** about cleaning your wheels more often than usual... EBC GreenStuff leave a lot of dust.
