Looks great guys!

To the guys that had it done professionally, is the side cover completely smooth or does it still have the textured look to it?

I don't know which tool specifically, but just remove the two screws.

Just finished it up last night. Looks good but if you look closely, when I put the clear coat on it, the white paint cracked up into lots of little splinters. No idea why but I well, will give it another attempt.
