DONE!
Dear god that was a pain.. And all because some dumb line tech torque on the bottom to nuts SO hard that they warped the metal backing plate and buried the heads into the plastic. Tok my cuz (who builds model cars) with an exto to extract the bolt heads from the plastic and then some serious carefull wrenching to pull the bolts.
But its done and LOOKS oh... so cool...
Thanks for the write up in the FAQ who ever did it.. and thanks for the help offered here.
A thankfull its over,
Ray
