Took me less than 1 hour to do... Floss to start off, then peeled the dings off, trying not to bend them. Came off perfectly.. No damage..
Used my Blockbuster membership card to assist with the 3m tape removal.. Wiped off the dust, did a one over with "Goof Off" to get off the res(Be Careful, don't let sit too long), then a cleaner wax to finish. Man was it worth it. Now I just need to watch where I park. The car looks so different. Oh, and for all the skeptics, I have a 1998 E1 T-red SVT and I live in "SUNNY" Southern California.... I saw no paint difference/fade what so ever.. So if you are worried, don't be.. I will post some pics soon. I just need to find a free host for my pics.
Anyone have any ideas?

P.S. The tape came off much easier if you let the sun hit it for about 10-15 min after you remove the ding...

1998.5 SVT
