Did you take the pieces off the car? If you did but then you are going to have a hard time. Also get a heat gun. Vinyl is super easy once heated.

On a side note does anyone have a tutorial on how to take apart the dash so I can get my air vents off.

Those w/ those spacers, are you removing the wheels after a week or two to re-torque the spacers to the hub? Do they loosen up?

How does it hold up to hard cornering?

H&R 40656014. Shipped from b2dautodesigns for a good price. No clearance issues, and obviously no rubbing since I'm riding on the stock AWD suspension (aka 4x4 setup). No need to re-torque post install (third car that I've added spacers to and never had to re-torque, nor has it ever been recommended to me by the professional installers).
