Hard is right, I'm not as photoshop competent as you may think, but I am learning quickly I learn by doing, so I'll try it. Just get me some pics.

What I'm thinking of for the Jaos bar, that will be helpful, is for you to take a pic of your RX at the same angle as here http://www.jaosusa.com/products/cent...r/cp_rx300.htm

I accept paypal. It's the materials that are expensive!! j/k

I've gone as far as removing the L. It leaves two small holes but I went to Lowe's and purchased two small plastic plugs which I painted to match. Very clean. Makes it easy to wax.

Paypal huh....... There you go... Gotta pay the bills someway...


As for Skyhigh, you must be high... Two holes???? ***** man I hope it came out ok in the end.... I couldn't Imagine if I put 2 holes in my *****.....Damn..... You are pretty daring there my friend. I tried to see what would happen if I pulled on the badges and it looked like I was going to rip the paint off with them, so I never gave a second thought about taking them off again...

Nice job LexRX. Very talented. How much did you need to magnify the photo? Just wondering.

what you use to debagding in reality not photoshop would have to be a blowdryer and fishing wire...

My friend did it to his celica gts and he just heat it up and then use the wire to pop it off...

i'm pretty sure thats how u do it...

as for the holes... i think your cars broken... haha j/p

btw nick, i'll try to get u the pic soon

For 01VaporBlueRX's sig pic I zoomed in pretty far. I actually zoomed as far as the program would let me at one point. I ususally use that feature very liberally. Is that what you were asking?

Good job with the pic spinteews, made it much easier on me. That silver looks great! One thing I've noticed about my burnished gold color, yours does the same, is how great it looks in direct sunlight. Also, I'm going to have to get those full chrome headlights.

Well, here's the picture. I tried my best to get the Jaos bar the same dimensions and prespective as in the picture with the woodland green RX. It's not perfect, but it will give you a good idea.

Here's another picture. The bar is not as jagged on the sides, but I did a lot of trimming on the picture. I meant to put clear blinkers on the other one so I did it on this one.

01VaporBlueRX, how are the badges coming. Did you decide to take them off or leave 'em?
