Yep. No need for a body shop on this mod. Let it get warm in the sun, peel the tape, and start in the middle. I had my teenage son help, and it went great.

All I had to tell the ebay guy was that mine was Alpine White. Not a perfect match, but only another Fanatic would ever notice. I think it has more to do with the fact that I'm putting it on a car that's had 9 years of paint wear.

Couple that with the fact that I had the body shop paint that black strip on the lower rear bumper, and it's a nice look now. Adds a little flair to my base 325.

Here's a pic from before I got that strip painted
