Default Removed BSM today....Finally! Pics inside

Was a lot easier then I thought it would be. Was very happy how it looked with it off. Used a blow dryer and bug and tar remover. Also used a scrapper from the kitchen for a non stick pan cleaner. Works great and speeds it up quickly.

Looks so much better in MHO. I was thinking of doing it also but I always have a reservation as I have 3 nice nicks from A Holes in parking lots on my pass side a small one on the drv side. If I didn't have the bsm they would be on the doors. I need to try & find a parking spot 1 mile away next time
