mzedith, I LOVE the longer strap on my s/s '03 first too! After reading a bunch of threads on this edge coating topic, I re-applied Fieblings edgekote very carefully and painstakingly to my '04 city and my '03 first myself. I figured that with my architecture background and model making experience that this would be no biggie to DIY! It took about 3-4 hours doing multiple light coats with a small paint brush and q-tips. I think it turned out as good as could be expected. The Fieblings IS a bit glossy as some people have criticized but I don't mind that really. The parts that have been flexed and thickened wouldn't make a perfect, clean seal the way less distressed areas would but it still looks so, so much better overall. I am very pleased with the results.
silverfern, Thanks! And I agree... the ph is the best! I don't collect any rh (at least thus far) so it is only ph or SGH for me
