Pic of the rear upper strut bar, works great and looks good! Also pic of my newly painted rotors, and then the car dumped on Ground Control coilovers. Did that just for the pic, it's back at about 2" up front, 1.75 in the back...

APRboy did the same thing I did with the interior trim...just primer and paint over top, then apply a clear coat. Just make sure that your pieces are clean.

1. They have texture
2. Nope
3. They just pop off (they are only held in by clips....just pull them out!)
