Default Best way to remove eyelids?
I have a set of carbon fiber eyelids on the car and they were installed by the previous owner. I am looking to remove them because I feel that they dont match the scheme of the car being the only carbon fiber pcs... Do you guys have any tricks to loosen the glue And remove them? I have no clue what glue was used to secure them to the headlights... Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks
