Sweet. I will try to test a color on mine.. i have a oxford white, and I don't know if white plastidip with glossifier will do.

Also I called paint shop who told me he'll charge me 250$ to have it done on mine.. But I prefer doing everything by myself :p
For those interested, he told me he would take off my skirts, clean and sand them with a 800 grit. After this he's adding a plastic promoter adhesion on them, then a primer. The primer has to be sanded with 400 grit sandpaper, because those skirt aren't smooth, and they're adding the paint (color) on the primer. Once the color is on (3-4 coat), they're adding the clear coats (6, cause skirts receives most rock chips) with a flexible agent mixed with the clear.
I think it sounds like an alright procedure for having this done?
 
I didn't want to quote all of your pictures but I wanted to ask the details on your dash setup. Does that retain full sync/steering wheel functionality? Did you run into any complications while installing it? I think it looks great. Also, put that black stripe back on your hood. It looks a thousand times better with it. Id extend it to the roof as well. Things like that make me really regret getting a black car because there isn't much I can do except....make it more black.
