yeah mine looks like crap. it's got like the swirly rainbow waterspot stuff goin on. i'm going to repaint it when the car's repainted, not sure about a temporary fix though. i tried a claybar and it didn't really help.

I just masked off the t-tops and painted it with a rattle can. Looks just fine believe it or not. Much better than the faded black.

Nope, mine looks great. The black part on the outer edge of the t-tops (the part over the window) looks like **** though.
