Default Okay guys... Stealth Mode!

Alright... Im now officially going for the stealth look.

Gonna be ordering VHT for the sidemarkers and rear break light so I can handle that.

Now I need to know a good way to only take off the red off the sides without making it look like crap. I would still like the firebird logo on it tho but with it black. As seen in

The same goes for the front bird


Any help would be elite

just heat it up with a hair dryer and peel it off slowly as not to remove paint with it.

heat as you go until it's all off, and then use goo-gone or similar adhesive remover to wipe off the excess stickyness.

Just let it sit in the sun for about 15 minutes and take them off. Use Goo Gone ( NOT goof off) to get rid of the residue that could be left behind. It WILL NOT hurt your paint.

you're car is already one of the sickest V6s i've seen man. goodluck dude.

like they said, just heat it up with a hair dryer, and pull...should come pretty easy. i'd tint the crap outta the windows too. and get ttop shades if you don't have them already. 15%-20% on the sides and back, and then the shades make it seem SO MUCH DARKER...that's what i had before i got a ticket and had to get it taken off... freakin white and black contrast sucks.
