lol on last post, i like the sound of the oven cleaner one, if my paint doesnt melt onto my feet ill thank you. so here go's, ill bust out the oven cleaner soaking the crap outa it, try peeling it off, if it doesnt work ill chuck the old hairdryer on, then give her a real good cut-n-polish.

Managed to pull mine off in under 5 minutes, must have been lucky. There is a bit of crap left behind that I have yet to clean off, and considering I pulled the pinstripe off back before I even put the bodykit on, I am one lazy character.
