I found it better to not use a heat gun. It seemed to melt the adhesive to the door and made it a helluva lot harder to scrub off. But that's just me. I used a heat gun on half of one door, the rest I just used an old credit card and slid it underneath and through.

Nice looking car so far. Should look a lot better once the moldings are off. And the door handles color-matched :thumbup:

Welcome! Another CA member :)


The front end of your car looks unusually high. You sure those are sportlines?

Yes They Are The Sportlines They Are Red In Color They Came New In The Box. Im ?ing The Install Right Now Due To How Stiff They Are In The Front I Think They Maybe Riding On The Bump Stop But Im Not Sure About That Its To Low To See If They Are.It Should Of Dropped The Front 2in & Rear 2.4in Thats According To Eibach.Any Input Reguarding This Would Be Helpful

Hmm. What size tires are you running? If the overall height is smaller than stock, that might explain why there is so much gap. Sportlines have the lowest drop available (that I've seen) which is why I was surprised at how tall it looks. The harsh ride is normal for drop springs, especially sportlines. They're too soft for the drop, so they hammer the bump stops constantly. I have the same problem with my TEIN springs, even with more than 50% of the bumpstop cut down.

Ah ha, your overall tire height is about 9mm (almost 1/2") smaller than stock. That explains it. Still looks like a Pro Kit drop to me, but maybe it's just the pics. Here's some info on tire sizing that might help you out in the future. Scroll down a bit for the tire section.
