mini tech artical: removing dent gaurds

just thought I'd share this with everyone, last fri I was bored,so I removed the trim on sides of my car. I used a screwdriver to pop the rubber out of the ralis,then a small drill bit (3/16ths or so,can't remember) to drill the rivets out,then spit shined over the dirt scars,I think it looks better. ofcourse I'll get those little holes filled in when I prep the car.. those things aren't neccesary because people will mess your car up anyways...that's why I'll be sporting primer while I'm still in the shipyards. next I'll be shaving the door handles and antenna. and fixing various small rust and dents. at this point,it will look better wet sanded with primer spots than it does now.

the stripping is in the dumpster if anyone wants it.
