just keep it lubed up and it should be fine. It comes with detailer that serves as the lubricant. so basicly your removing **** and sexing it up at the same time. then it comes with a paint treatment that you use afterwards. Its a long tedious process however. would be great if you could find a friend to work on one side while you do the other.

i guess halfj99 has the ability to read threads while they're being created haha

Hey man really nice car Honestly your car is the first one I've seen with the RK Sport hood that actually looks good. I also like the grillless look. When you take the grill out is it just that center bar and the bowtie thats left or are there any clips or anything?

thanks for the compliments. the stock bars on the grill were cut out and dremeled down. then repainted to colormatch. black mesh was then used for the grill. so the grill is still there, jsut the cross bars were removed.
