When I removed the strip there was clearcoat running under the strip, and about a quarter of an inch dirt line along the top of where the strip was! Not to mention a sixteenth of an inch ridge! It took me all day to sand the door out. I haven't checked the others yet but i'm sure that they are the same. Looks like I will be repainting well ahead of schedule! 1998 Silver Frost SVT Purchased 01/10/02 Mods so far: -Fidanza aluminum flywheel -Clutch upgrade -Clarion ProAudio system, DSP, 13 Band EQ Future mods: -Intake upgrade -Performance plug wires -Autolite double platinums -Konig 18 X 7.5 Toxxin's -Koni's and Eibach coil overs -Rockford amps, 3 12" Rockford subs, etc..

No, Roger I didn't see your line. I even looked while you were gone to the check in stand and I didn't see anything. Mine must be a lot worse! Oh well. BTW, my buffer has bit the dust and its only 6 mos old... looks like another wait for me! 1998 Contour Sport V6, Black Cold air induction Powdercoated intake manifold (more powdercoating coming soon) Blue headlights, foggies, and signals (no reflectors) CEG stickers & removed door moldings -------------------------------- 1994 Ford Aspire 4-door, looks like a big egg 64 hp 4-cyl 5 speed "13 steel rims with go-cart tires 74 mph top speed *I'm going to auto-x the thing (but not compete)
