Re: a few questions or tidbits thats been bugging (archive)

1) has anyone tried clearing up their own sidemarkers on their bumper trim... if so.. how and any pictures?
:
:Usually the install of euro-bumper trim, trouble is this does not conform to US DOT standards of an amber side marker that is required in the States. I've heard that clearing the bumper molding makes it look like it's got a hole in it.
2) how do you people feel about cutting your springs instead of buying lowering springs...... lack of performance or not?.... i heard they're fine if they are cut right
:DO NOT CUT THE SPRINGS!
3) chrome trim? anyone blacked out their their chrome window sills around their door? is it expensive to do?
:Matter of taste, I haven't heard of it personally, but I'm sure someone has.
4) back rear widow clip is falling off? any solutions.. glue or buy new clips?
:Superglue, I glued mine about 18 months ago, holding fine ever since.
5) what do you people use to clean your sideskirts? i have tried many things to clean these skirts... but all has failed... any products worth trying?
:Are you referring to the black surround at the bottom of the car? If so, a polish and a good carnuba wax worked well for mine.
i know these are a lot of questions to answer but if you could more power to you guys..... and thanks in advance.
:You learn about these cars by asking questions! More power to you Carl!
