Kara all nice and waxed.

Waxed Kara all up, and although I did a very poor job, the pictures turned out nice.

Not to mention I brought the new Canon Rebel out for a spin.

New fender is coming soon, which will fix the fitment problem with the driver's side corner light. When that happens I'm thinking about getting single piece headlights or Blue Oval Industries smoked "Black Beauties."

I have also located some stock fogs that were lightly tinted. We'll see how that works out.

Lastly, does anyone have suggestions on how to take off the taped-pin-stripe cause it looks horrible?

Haha, I thought you were referring to all the places where she's beat up a bit. Most of the pictures of half the car are because my brother wouldn't move himself out of the shot, so I had to make due...

If you buy from Blue Oval, just get their Smoked Lights! It's what I have and I LOVE them!! Clear silicone them up for extra insurance though! Someone from that other forum told me. They still look brand new!!! You will be impressed!

I know, my paint's terrible!! Looking to take care of that in August though!!

I didn't see that where you asked about your pin stripe. I am not for sure on this though! My guess it that it will look way worse if you take it off. It will be a total different color. It has no sun damage. Again, I'm guessing on this part.

I got a good bit off on my fender, and it didn't seem to be discolored at all. The tape is fairly transparent, so I'm sure that the sun damaged that pretty close to as much.

It's just extremely difficult with a razor blade, so I wanted know alternative ways.

heat gun and a razor scraper would be the easiest and safest way. even if its a dif color nothing a good wax job wont fix!

The surface is curved, which is why it's so difficult to use a razor. I'll have to try a heat gun though.

Thanks. I am working three jobs right now, two of which have direct deposit... that doesn't work exactly correct right now. So I have to wait for some cash flow before anything new gets put on the car. Side exhaust is first, then it is all up to what catches my eye next I suppose. I need new tires because of a run in with some glass on the road the other night, but I'm not sure if I actually need new ones, or if it can be patched. I can't even find the puncture, so I guess we'll see. Which brings me to my last thing. I need caster camber plates, because I'm fairly sure that my car was lowered in the front since the inside of both tires is worn far worse than the outside. I've been told that this is a Camber problem and that I need the C/C plates in order to get an alignment. Is this true, or can an alignment shop do a decent job of keeping my tires even on the ground?
