Default My 02 SS: !side molding & Zainofied
Finally got around to getting off the side molding and damn, what a difference. Also, my buddy (gofast908z on here) buffed and Zainofied my car .... feels & looks smooth. Any suggestions on appearance modifications? I think I'm done with appearance ... for a while at least ... Here are some pictures:

Wheels are ADR Battle Exe with F1 GSD3 tires.

To pull off the molding I used a hairdryer to heat up the molding and it got pretty soft so I just pulled it off, no dental floss/fishing wire needed. Then, the glue/sticky stuff I just rolled with my thumb, while heating it up once in a while. It came off like dough, very easily. My buddy that was doing my car said it took him 4hrs to do his due to the condition of the glue/tape. Mine took ~35 minutes for both sides. Then used some goo remover and it was done. This was before the buffing and detailing, so it worked out perfect.

PS- I got a blister on each of the thumbs from rolling (friction sucks) but it was well worth it LOL

Looks great. I always liked those wheels. Black headlights would finish the front. Other than that the ride looks great.
