Default Flipped Motor Mount Impressions and ???

Well did it yesterday and took the car out last night and throttle response does seem a little better. When I blip the throttle now the car actually responds as opposed to before where the lag time was so long you'd hardly feel anything.

2 more very small projects I'd like to tackle.

Re-paint the 5.3L DOD emblem on the motor cover. I bought my car as a demo with 9000 miles on it and when the dealer detailed it they took some paint off. Any suggestions on what type of paint I should use?

Remove rear drivers side door panel and try to fix a minor ding. I'm extremely afraid to take these interior pieces off in fear of breaking them. If anyone has done this any tips would be great.

Use a small paint marker from a hobby shop or arts and crafts shop to re-paint the lettering.

For the back door, I believe there is also a hidden screw behind a square plastic "door"...I can't remember for sure, though. Aside from that, you're probably looking at the "christmas tree" type-clips around the perimeter of the door panel that usually break anyway, so you'll probably need to get more of those ahead of time.
