removing side mouldings....

[Gambino]

So I just got back from the body shop and they fixed the rust for free! here are some pics of my baby with the mouldings gone. sorry, still shots with video cam arent the greatest quality

I took the 2.3 off and it looks much smoother. I would suggest you do the same I think you'll like the look once you let it go. What kind of drop is that, looks like a sportline.

 

[Gambino]

Yeah, thats a sportline drop. I absolutely love and recommend it. I have bottomed out on some speed bumps, but still love it

did mine today. 10min to remove the sides... 2 hours to get off all the adhesive.
I used 3M adhesive remover for the most part... Using that in the sun, bad idea - it dries almost instantly. I did one side in the sun, and one in the shade. Shade is WAY better... stays wet, peels off much easier.. took 90min in the sun, 30min in the shade.

bad shot cuz i took a group shot of our cars.. i'll take a few more shots of my car tomorrow.

As stated earlier in the thread - definitely wait for a warm day. I did mine today (here in Nova Scotia it was about 10 degrees celcius), and it took a while. Me and the hair dryer were pretty much exhausted at the end of it. Looks awesome though.

Naw, I did mine in the Spring with a heat gun. Worked fine...

 

[nsprotege]

Yeah, I should've got a heat gun, hair dryer was all that I had, so I used that - not quite enough juice I guess!! Oh well. It took a while, but the time was well spent.

 

[Brian MP5T]

I love the look...

 

[Brian MP5T]

heat-gun is what I used...

I like how you did the silver down the side - your car is looking sweet. Hopefully I'll get a chance to see it if you make it to Halifax in the summer

 

[Brian MP5T]

Oui!

for anyone who is planning to do this in cold weather or the adhesive doesn't come all off, an eraser works really well. you just need one that wont crumble. start on one side and use the friction to pick it off. should get at least 98% of it if not all, and you can just erase the rest.
