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.

Guest repliedOriginally posted by MommysLittleMonster View PostMore work than you might think, assuming you want to keep your paint nice. If you want to "sand it smooth", you might want to plan on painting your entire hatch.
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.Originally posted by Xtra Big Kahuna View PostWhen 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.

Guest repliedOriginally posted by MommysLittleMonster View PostThe studs that "align" the rear spoiler will be a giant pain in the ass. My missus wants to ditch her spoiler quite badly, but the studs make it look aweful.
Rotary, cut off the studs and sand it smooth.

Guest repliedThanks 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!
