    the adhesive would have melted in the sun and bonded with the clear coat, especially since its just rattle can clear

  • Are you on skunk2 coilovers? If you are can you send me a link to where I can buy them? Thanks in advance...
  • What did you use for the wood door accents? Was it just a thin wood paneling, and how has it held up?

    Im on a bunch of suspension upgrades
    -form and function type 1 coilovers fronts maxed out
    -skunk camber kit front and rear
    -wicked toe kit
    -function 7 lca's
    - new bushings

    love the coilovers would buy again in a heart beat. But if you wanna go low the minimum I would get is coilovers, camber kit and bushings they are definatley worth the couple bucks and time :)

    If your thinking about it it's a lot of custom work mine just sit I'm there and the handle really hold them in place. Prennro would probably be able to speak to this a little more I haven't done my fronts yet I think me might have

    I used a small dab of liquid nails, but had to leave it all mocked up with pressure to hold everything pushed tight in place for 2+ days for the liquid nails to fully dry. There is prob a better way than my method and Only using the door handle would prob work.
    Only caution is the fronts have a slight curve to them and anything thicker than 1/4" will be a bitch to curve and hold in place. That's My 2 cents
