well... I did the fishing line to remove the badge. It's when I went to scrape the tape off with a plastic putty knife. I went too aggressive. But a heat gun will make tape removal easier. Hopefully.

Post up some pics in the paint section. Maybe somebody can point out a decent clay bar/wax/polishing compound to help you out some

Not a bad idea. Got plenty o' that at home. Thanks for the warning on the manicure, too.

with a little bit of under coating, they should do nicely... (flip them over in your mind).
good find! kinda surprised you're so inventive Curtis. honestly, you're kinda scary sometimes.............

The Westin safari bar that my wife ordered for me came in today while I was at school. Couldn't wait, so I went to my brother's house after church, used his garage, and put it on. I think it was well worth the effort, plus I'll be able to sport the new look tomorrow when I go back to school.

nope. especially with the extra ground clearance you have.

just find a nice dry spot to lay down on. although that might be kinda hard, with the little bit of wet stuff we've been getting the last few days.
