Great work Phil and crew! Curious to what the paint depth readings were. . . as I know my FJ has a poor excuse of a paint job, but I love the color.
The FJ cruiser looks great, I've always thought about getting one if I wanted a SUV. side note: whoever was vacuuming the interior has some beastly arms
wheel armour is great! it appears to be lasting on my daily pretty well. the look of nero is great and its easy to use. however sv pneu will last longer
