already got rid of the tails, S-Techs will be ordered shortly, and i'm still contemplating the side vinyls....

BTW does anyone have any good advice for taking these decals off? They're on there really good and are really hard to peel off with your fingernail.

^FUGLY


I had vinyls on the back of my old civic when I bought it. It said some type of audio equipment name across the back window, I have this tool for removing inspection stickers from license plates that took it off nicely, surprisingly it didn't scratch the window... but when the window would fog up you could see the outline of where the vinyl used to be... I don't know about the ones on the side of your car.

on removing the vinyl try a blow dryer and then it still might leave the glue behind

Also try a rubber razorblade they should have them at your autozone.

haha holy sh*t as a side note i had a dream somebody took the vinyl off one of the sides of my car and it actaully looked good, then i went to the other side and just peeled it off with my fingernail and was stoked on it. haha is that a sign? (i'm not lying about the dream either)

^ now that's what i'm talking about, that's cool looking.(phew..(side graphics gone)) i like the rim choice and no one else has the jun lip so i go for it, it looks really good, after that, you should be pretty much done with the unricing and ready for ROTM

holy old post, Batman! But seriously, I think the chopped version looks good...

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2164596/5<-- decal removal is about half-way down the page

I like the picture, though... especially the gang signs or whateverbeing thrown by the occupants of your car...
