Do you have any of the front cladding left that you cut off the front? You could do some tests there first before committing to all the cladding and the insert.

Thats a good idea, but not really my style as some of the others can attest. For the most part, my projects come out pretty successful. The rear end project, no planning, the bumper, had a plan, didn't follow it at all, paint thing will work out like all the othersMy wife angrily calls it the "midas touch". It infuriates her that I come up with these ideas on the fly. My English Comp teacher keeps complimenting me on following the process for the papers we write. Little does she know, from start to finish is under one hour turn around. I turn in rough drafts for 100% grades.
I can't wait to tell her...after my final grade is in of course.

Wow, I have pissed off/annoyed enough people that I don't even get negative comments anymore!!! Yippeee!!!! Anyway, I took your advice and ordered a 10" first gen Isuzu emblem in red. I think its gonna be sweet in that yellow gap. Thanks for the idea...
I will probably start on the cladding tomorrow, I had duty today so I was not able to do anything, I forgot about that.
I am liking the look more and more, I will post a distance shot tomorrow as well, its looks pretty sweet, follows the curve of the cladding quite nicely and adds some umph to the front end. It really looks like a tonka truck now.
Now that food has replaced sex in my life -
I can't even get into my own pants!!
I'm really curious to know how this stuff sticks to the cladding, it looks like it dries really inflexible?
wow, usually im the kind of person who says thats its your car and if you like it, DO IT!....... but.......damn dude........ damn......
you should of just did the whole vehicle, you know you'll end up doing it eventually anyhow...

If it stays wet looking on the hood insert...does this defeat the purpose of the anti-glare properties?
I like it. My feeling is what makes you happy, do it. I REALLY want to line-x the whole thing but that seems to be much more $ than this....Go ahead and do your whole VX as a test run for me! Seriously how much do you think it would be to cover the whole VX?
Anti-glare schmanti-blare. I have no idea what the real purpose of putting a piece of fiberglass on top of the hottest part of the vehicle was...but it looks cool.
As for licking the truck, that is how I know when its time to wash and wax, its an old witch doctor trick. The real question is how did I get over there fast enough after setting up the camera
I would think it would cost at least a few thousand bucks to Line-x the whole truck, at least at retail cost. A bed costs 3 or 400, and that requires little to no prep work. Just imagine taping everything off, getting into all the crevices, corners...I remember a pic of an FJ cruiser that was line-xed a khaki color. It was awesome, he did the door jams and all. It was a quality job and very time consuming. I am dreading doing just the cladding, and that is just taping off the cladding/body lines, tail lights, gotta take the rear door spare mount off,or perhaps just go over that as well. I don't know yet.
