Whoo! Finally did it. My first DIY mod. Went to local Lowe's and picked up some cheap can of Strypeeze ($5) and a little puddy scraper for 50 cents. Took some time to get the strypeeze to settle. It worked but not well. My father whipped out a bottle of Acra Lac -- not sure where he got it but it worked wonders. Popped some on a Q-Tip and started rubbing away slowly but surely. Took me about 2 hours.

Anyway, here are the pics I am VERY satisfied.
TNS (Taco Neck Syndrome) overload!!

BTW, I only did the front part of the slats.

 

on the car ...

 

... AAAND again ...
dammit having to save a file less than 50k sucks @$$ ... but anyway ...

 

.. and da last one.

 

.. for reference .. this is mine without the chrome grill ....

 

Kinda neat knowing that YOU did that yourself isn't it? Very satisfying.

 

Indeed it is! That part right there just makes it 10x more important to me when I see it

 

Oh yeah, MUCH THANKS goes out to 2SAVVY

 

can't really tell anything from the pics, but if you're that estatic about it, must be near perfect if not. thanks for sharing

 

You really can't tell from the pics?
The 5th picture is my car without the chrome grill btw.

Thanks though!

 

that looks GREAT...what an improvement...the first pic is funny (with you holding the grill).....looks like you got a bit of the stripper on your hands! they're all red.

 

Obviously, his camera doesn't have red hand reduction.

 

loks MUCH better......

a DIY.... with result and some $ in the pocket

well done man.great

yezzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

No problem dude.. Should of used the gel type remover from Home Depot.. Would of taken you 30 minutes tops.. Looks nice.. Just too bad the file sizes are so small now so we can see how it really looks.. Keep up the good work!
