    It's not too bad. Get them nice and hot with a hair dryer first, then slowly work them up with your fingers. I used goo-gone to remove the excess residue. I scuffed them with 400grit and shot them with 4 coats of Rustoleum gloss black.

    Yeah, 2 plastic pins that are used for centering. There are 3 holes in the fender under the badge.

    ^ get some high quality lights. Mine were only $40 from O'Reilys and are pretty lame... they are definitely better than stock, but I'm going to be looking for some better ones eventually.

    Blacked out the heads this weekend. What a pain in the ass! Look freaking sweet though. I painted everything but the headlight reflector. I was worried about the turn signal bulb not being bright enough, but it still pops pretty good when they're on.
