The studs were very seized, barely got the nuts off.

And if anyone wondered what Dupli-Color clear effects looks like.
Not on my car, gf wanted them like this for her car :tardbang:.
They aren't always this shiny, this is directly in the light.

I shot mine with a lot of PB the first time I did it and I was ok. When I swapped bumpers with Adam and we were in BFE I forgot the PB and snapped like 2 of the studs off :headbang:

Huh, a local parts store has a bunch of paint on sale. I thought about getting a can of that Effex just to see what it looked like. Might go get one or two. My little girl might like that stuff on her bike. I may even find a use for it...

Those wheels actually don't look too bad IMO.

The wheels turned out great as far as looks. I'm not real found of sparkly stuff, but they don't look bad. Thats over top of black BTW.

Yes, my back bumper is off getting painted, I have to bent my exhaust to make the tip fit under the cutout in the lip.

Side skirts are already painted. Will have the rear lip on for carlisle, and hope to have a new front lip on.
