Beautiful! What wax/sealant did you use to obtain that awesome glossy finish?

Thx! I use EagleOne NanoWax Spray because that's what I have on hand. Thinking of switching to Torque Detail Mirror Shine spray once I run out.

@FWInsight Can you send a link to the vinyl that you used? I'd like to do this with my white insight... *3M 2080 Gloss / Matte Black Vinyl Wrap for Chrome Delete Car Decal Roll Sticker | eBay

I'm tempted to just plastidip the entire thing but I'm pretty sure I'd want to take off the chrome from the front rather than mask and paint...

Doortrim (2 rolls):

How have the wheels impacted your mpg?

Same if not better mpg because I purposely stayed with 17's (although I really wanted 18's) and I intentionally took weight (and cost) into consideration. I think I'm at 41 lbs per corner (21 lbs per wheel and 20 lbs per tire) vs. stock weight of 44 or 45 lbs. Unfortunately, I drive kind of aggressive anyways, so I'm not seeing the mpg Honda says I should. Plus, I put weight back on with subwoofers and added spare tire/jack/tools..🙂

Here's the link. It's actually one made for a '16-'20 Civic sedan (fits Insight perfectly!)

@FWInsight, I've been lurking on this forum and your car has really inspired me to chrome delete my Insight!

I also really like your smoked rear turn signal since its not too dark. Which tinting vinyl wrap did you use?

From Amazon: VViViD Air-Tint Headlight/Tail Light Window Tint (12" x 48", Smoke Black) https://a.co/d/8BEQjxp. I think i was able to get away with just one roll (12 × 48 @ $9.99). I used a hair dryer to heat a bit to stretch around curves and x-acto knife to VERY CAREFULLY trim on the border of where the clear meets the red (I scored it very lightly as to not scratch the plastic lens under the film and then peeled off the excess - that way if i ever wanted to remove it, no cut line left behind on the lens). Have fun!
