Meh, all you need is a hair dryer and your fingers. Comes right off. Then use rubbing alcohol to remove the the outline and residue. Hit it with some wax and you're done. Took me 10min total to do.

Once I get my car clean, I'll snap some more...

Next mod, stage 3 exhaust:
No offense but i like your winter setup better than your summer setup. know the other wheels are WORKS but those winter wheels look good!

Thanks guys. Haven't been on AZ that much lately...swamped at work. I'll try to get some high-res pics uploaded. I haven't been in touch with my photography side as much as I'd like, so I just ordered this....should make for some interesting photoshoots...

Thanks, it's the Rokinon 85mm f/1.4. Image quality is supposed to be on par with the $1,500 Nikon 85mm f/1.4 for a fraction of the price. The Rokinon is a manual focus lens, so there's a steep learning curve if you're used to having the camera auto focus everything (like me). I just got it a couple hours ago and took some test shots. This thing is crazy to use at f/1.4 because the depth of field is so narrow, but when you get the shot you want, it's fantastic.

@f/1.4


@f/2


@f/2.8

Thanks man...waiting until all the salt is gone before I throw those puppies on. I'm afraid these conditions will ruin the teal caps.

put a coat of wax on them, or tape off the bottom portion and spray them with a massive amount of layers of clearcoat. C'mon, rookie...get on it!
