    Really won't be a fan of this until you get some real wheels, and get rid of those God awful headlights. It is your car, but you obviously seek the approval of this forum if you keep posting new threads after getting chastised over and over again. If you want approval on this forum, actually take the fucking advice.

    You could use the trick I employed in the past- take a washer that's slightly bigger than the stud you're trying to grind off, tape it in place around the stud you're cutting off, and use the cutoff wheel/grinder to remove the stud without destroying the nearby paint. Add a little touch-up paint to bare metal, and live with it.

    When you remove your spoiler your car has to be painted. To get rid of the nipples that are holding it in place you need to grind them out, weld the wholes closed, and then paint the hatch. It is a lot more work than you think.
    Haha I already know this. I didn't realize little monster meant withou paint. When I go wingless, I'll be moving the whole hatch to repaint it

    ? Easy.

    Rotary, cut off the studs and sand it smooth.

    Thanks man! I know how to repaint wheels. I've done that. I just didn't know how how to restore like aluminum and stuff.

    For polishing lips : http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...ight=Polishing

    Rest of refinishing wheels is just removing or sanding paint and then repainting. Hopefully that helps. Cars looking good man!

    And my front right cv boot has been slinging for ages. I clean everything once a week. I actually patched a cm tear with rubber cement. It the only tear I've found yet it STILL slings from somewhere else. But hey, if you've done 40k I'm not worried.
    Yeah, 40k in NY nonetheless.
