The plastic trim that surrounds the sport lamps on my Mach. I'm proud to say I'm at about the 98% mark, but that last 2% is a bitch! ------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1 - '72 Mustang Sprint - '94 F-150 Please remember our sponsors, Mustangs Plus, NPD, Osborn Reproductions, MyFordPerformance.com, and FordRamAir.com

Probably 100% If you want a nice finish, it's important for the substrate to be uniform. ------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1 - '72 Mustang Sprint - '94 F-150 Please remember our sponsors, Mustangs Plus, NPD, Osborn Reproductions, MyFordPerformance.com, and FordRamAir.com
