I haven't seen him on the site in a very long time. I don't think he is still selling them.

I have a family member that suggested using plasti dip but in a the aerosol can to black out my bumper. you would have to tape it off just as if you are going to paint it but plasti dip PEELS off if you dont like it.

Plasti Dip: 5.96

Painters tape: 6 or 7 depending on the size.

Ill post pictures of my finished product soon!

it only cost me 20 bucks but does take a very long time.

metatrox - I don't see that Glossy Kit avail. Did you find that the Matte was more popular? I have the Azure Gray and I can't make up my mind as to what would look better.

I think the matte one looks cooler on any colour. ;-)

On a slightly related note, it's a year and a half/two winters later for me, and the whole thing looks as good as on day one. So not sure about the other methods suggested on this forum, but I'd go with this kit (the matte one, of course ;-)) if it's still available.

Thanks for the comments! It's a good high grade vinyl. I know personally I chose matte.

1 year later I still want one of these. I finally decided to try the matte, but I don't see them up on ebay. Sell me one?

Also, those white Kizashis look so nice. So jelly, but you can keep that awful light interior. ;)
