looks nice, i like the fading on the edges of the pic. and i looooove those fsvt's

i went out and took a large amount of pictures today, only a few came out how i wanted

.Snipey

aww yeah
lookin spiffy

We installed the Borla exhaust on the truck today
muy bueno
I snapped pics, no idea when I'll post.

I don't know why, but your flat ding guards look much wider than I recall seeing on other 98.5+ Contiques (even my own). I think a Knauberization is in order

oh come on guys! go aftermarket rims like somthing that isnt Ford related..ahem..lol

I like those

i would love to have those ding guards taken off, any repainting involved? can someone help me out cause i want them off! haha, just need some new headlights and respray the bumpers and she should be set for awhile

since yours is only 2 cars away from Cobra's, I'd say no repainting is involved. We took his ding guards off no problem.
Used quite a bit of Goo Gone and just yanked them with brute force.
Some people use fishing wire (with gloves!) to sort of saw behind the guards since the boogery glue back there is pretty strong.

The only thing I think you might have to be somewhat concerned about is fading. Your car is 6 years old, so it's possible the paint has faded, but the paint beneath the guards has had no exposure to light.
Having a silver car though might work into your favor and it may be hardly noticable.

awesome, i was worried there would be holes behind those things like on jetta's and whathaveyou, but as long as its just glue...those suckers are coming off

Just be slow about it, don't rush it. Take your time and lots of goo gone and they'll come right off.

lousy picture, bad time of day to take it, but both sides are done, polished up my headlights too (look new again...but im sure thatll change quick) thanks for the motivation to take the door ding guards off, i love the subtle change

Oh man .. much improved.

Very nice!

I'd love to take knauberize mine but the previous owner had some paint work done, I'll have stripes.
