hello boys,

I got a burst of energy and debadged my car this morning the "Acura" & "2.3 CL" are gone...not gonna mess w/ the big giant "A" because i dont want any holes in my trunk, but wow, u guys were right, what a difference it makes, i LOVE it!!!

well, then i got to thinking about the mud guards, the front ones were a piece of cake, the back ones however were a different story. I couldn't get the wheels to turn so i could fit the screwdriver in there...

any suggestions as to how I can remove the back ones????

Thanky

 

hey there,
why are you removing the mudguards? i'm trying to picture what it would look like but i'm drawing a blank - i'll go look at the car and see (-: i was thinking about getting some for the rear but they're pretty pricey friom the dealer and i haven't seen any aftermarket that i would want
ANYWAY, your going to need a snubby-type screwdriver or a 45 degree one, or a ratchet with a screwdriver attatchment (-:
cya

 

To put mine on, I used a screwdriver shaped like this:

 

I have one of those if you wanna wait a month for when i come home. I personally like mudflaps though...although mine are getting scraped to hell cause i'm dropped.

 

hey...well just got to thinking about it, that rubber strip around the bottom of my car is already painted red and the mud guards weren't. To me, it looked unfinished and it didnt flow, i'm not going muddin' anywhere in my CL...so why do i need them, they just junk it up, IMO.

after removing the front ones...it makes a world of difference...looked much cleaner, much classier...glad i did it!

and thanks for the info on the screwdrivers guys...have to go buy one now...

 

Can i have your rear mud guards after you take them off? any kind of dirt shows up on my rear bumper since i have a white car

 

sorry, someone beat ya to it...

 

lol...another month...seems like it's always one month away :P

but if they are still on there when u get back in to town...i'll let u go ahead and take them off:P

that's if i can last a month

 

You have pics of the car without the gaurds?

 

nope sure don't...man i need to get a digital camera...

i'll have to get one of my friends to take some pics and i'll post them...

 

I took mine off to be painted, and i hate the car without them. It gets filthy and where the quarter panel and door meets looks funny for some reason. I was thinking about getting some rears and painting them up, but i have been too lazy. The rear stays cleaner than the doors though.

 

really? thanks for the heads up...

i never had a problem when i took them off my accord...as far as the doors getting dirty, but if they get dirty i guess i'll just wash 'em.

I also thought about painting them, but if i'm gonna put any money into the CL, i'd rather use it towards the drop...not painting the mud guards...so off they went

 

Katie, u are killin me with all this mud guard stuff, gettin so excited over it, ohh well, I still like mine, they just need to be painter

 

Does everyone love this girl Katie or what... She's all about slamming her car...
I mean seriously isn't it not the sexiest thing to see a girl driving down the highway... boucing

 

watch out for rocks and debri too... shit works its magic all over the kicker panels.. just get a semi-rough sponge for when you wash it and use some o dat elbow grease.. post pics when you get a chance.. i might do the same

 

lol!!

thanks for the info capa...i'm extra careful when i wash my car, i am always on the look out for that shit..and rocks don't hit my kicker panels...nooooo, they like to hit my hood and fly into my windshield , just chipped it though, gotta get that fixed.
u aint stopping till u get some pics huh?
well y dont u try responding to your PM's :P

acurastatus-- you're too funny! but trust me, it goes both ways, there isn't anything better than seeing a guy in a slammed car!!

adam-- i know, i'm killing ya!!
lol, kinda like the whole license plate problem we had saturday night huh and just an FYI, i still haven't replaced it yet...haha

 

you can also just take off the rear tires

 

yeah..that would be an option.
but that is a tad bit more effort than i want to put into taking off the mud guards

but thanks!!

 

why not get some mud guards with a pick of Taz or Yosemite Sam and caption saying, "Back Off". You could get the really cool ones that are like half chrome. then a bumper sticker that says, "Keep honking, I'm re-loading", and lastly a license plate frame that says, I'd rather be fishing,,,,,, sorry i'm off the deep end again.
seriously though on my way in to work this guy parks in my garage sometimes --guy has a 500 series benz with SL500 chromy things (LIKE 6) all over the car, two Pep Boys wick wack fog lights ON THE REAR BUMPER, and some fucked up TWO rear winsheild wiper mod on the BACK!!!!!! THIS LOOKS RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
and i always forget my camera on days he's there --i gotta get pics!

 

did you try taking off the tire ? it would only take a couple of min to do it. good luck

 

 

sorry bout that..im blind and have a braille keyboard/monitor... you got PM

 

haha..wow. i must tell u i thought u were being a smartass until i read the last paragraph, i was gonna have to go off on you...but now i can't, dammit!!

 

wow...you must have a hella time driving that CL then, ya know, being blind and all...guess i dont need to send u a pic after all!! LOL

but back at ya!:P

 

nah i was just venting because i see so many STUPID things done to cars --- had nothing to do with your mud guards --they just reminded me of the ones that say "Back Off" and i just wonder why people spend money on some stuff...then again i have 4 perfectly good wheels and i went out and bought four new ones only bigger - i have a perfectly running engine but i want a H22 - hmm.....
Tazmanian Devil Mudflaps/guards that say Back Off $20.00
H22 Honda Prelude engine Swap $3,700.00

ok maybe i'm the dork


nah............................ I'll taken the engine please (-:

cya,
good luck with ur drop :P

 

katie, if u have aol, IM me at surf4j

 

oklee doklee...
