haha, i'm from vancouver, where you at?
mine was 5.98 as well
what part isn't coming off? mine was just a couple bolts and it popped right out..
oh, and this is what happens when you don't mask off the tire...
this is way easy to peel off the tire and left a nice edge on the wheel. can't complain, and it saved me a lot of time without trying to mask the wheel...
I just hope pops aint too mad about his lawn when he sees it

just a tip, try spraying WD-40 on clips and the rubber trim clips. It helps keep them from binding up and snapping. I just took my grille off and did coat 1 on my rear emblems so far. I might even do the window trim if I'm feelin froggy. I'll post pics when I'm done

Just did my rear emblems and front grille surround and front emblem. Had to redo the front emblem AFTER installing it back on so I'm doing coats right now with it on the car. I had 3/4 of my driver side window trim taped off and I changed my mind. I wanted to do it but too much work in one afternoon for me. I'm going out in a lil while and didn't feel like doing the passenger side. PLUS after doing everything else, IDK if the 1 can I bought was enough.
I'll post pics in a few.
I think I may do my macbook pro as well. If I do, I'll post pics of that too.
