Wink guess what i just did..
well some of you know ive been wanting to do this for a while now....

finally decided to do it






the wings west pieces were held on with alot of glue, and double sided tape. it comes off but its taking forever. does anyone know of some stuff i can put on it to help it come off faster/easier?




that black thing under my lisence plate is one of my radar detectors, i need to mount it higher

the front was the factory rs pieces so they have those brackets. from what i understand i need to drill the rivets out?

Bestine will help remove the adhesive. It's rubber cement thinner.

they came with the car, its a k40, like a $2000 system the spoiled kid put on this car lol. it has one mounted inthe front bumper and then the rear as u can see. there are two lights where my speedometer is that flash depending on what radar is picking up something, and it also has a beeper.

Goo Gone will work as well. You can get it at Kragen and AZ i believe. It will help a little with removing adhesive. I used it to remove the adhesive holding the "SS" badge on when one of the S's fell off.

PS. Much better looking!
