haha the beauty of owning domestic, and for some reason certain hondas, is you can order from a store like summit :) and if removing the front bumper is the first step in a process i try and avoid it lol

dubnakd
07-27-2010, 03:52 PM
removing the front bumper sadly is the first step to even getting in any european car... :P
on a side not: just washed and claybarred the car, it looks dope... as it sits in the garage with a thunderstorm outside

I'm so jealous man! Looks hella clean. We need to do a shoot when I get the skirts on. I'm thinking of doing the Euro rubs too, just wanted to see how yours turned out.

dubnakd
08-08-2010, 02:10 PM
at the ends of the long ones on the doors... they bow juuust a little bit and dont stick to the door.. my fix was to use a drop of epoxy. i think if i were to do it over i would have let them sit somewhere bent inward so when they were put on the door they would bow onto the door better instead of outward

Filthy Dub
08-08-2010, 09:35 PM
Really? I may just go cheap and plastidip mine. How do they come off?

dubnakd
08-08-2010, 10:09 PM
theyre on there with double sided tape. i soaked the top and bottom of em with wd-40, like two runs along the top and bottom, then used fishing line to work through the glue on one end (theres a peg about a inch in...) so now you got a inch to start prying. pry with a knife at that end, once the end is up just pull the entire thing off.
rubbing really friken hard with a dry microfiber towel on the tape residue on the door creates enough friction to where it starts to rub off... i said f*k it after that first rubstrip and left the residue on.... put the new rubs right over the residue... no issues so far but i did take SOME of the residue off to create a even surface

rear bumper rubs just snap in/out. pried a corner with a electrical-taped flathead screwdriver to get it started

Filthy Dub
08-08-2010, 10:20 PM
Wonder if it can be done without removing them. I'll look it up and see I might be able to just mask them off.

dubnakd
08-09-2010, 07:11 PM
yea ive seen it done. best bet would be to use index cards and tape. the difference between painted and oe rubs is huge though. the painted rubs always come out dark as balls. but with a indigo car im sure the difference wouldnt be noticeable cause its dark on dark

Filthy Dub
08-09-2010, 07:26 PM
Plus I dyed the valances a darker black. Hmm...might have a new project this week.

dubnakd
