Default New Birthday Bling

I am a pretty bad photographer but I thought I'd show the new SS Inserts and the Dreaded Drip Eliminator from Jim at Southern Car Parts.

The SS Inserts went on as advertised and I think they look great with the black paint. The drip eliminators are really great.

Looks good, what's that crooked thing below the left tail lights? Is it a dealer sticker? If so I alway's take mine off. David

It is a dealer chrome name tag. How can I get it off without hurting the paint?

I was going to comment on that, too. The letters look great by the way. Try heating the dealer tag with a hair dryer, then carefully slipping a piece of fishing line behind it and work it off slowly.

When I got mine, I asked them not to tag the car. When I paid and took possession of the car, it was tagged. I went back in and have them remove it...

Car looks great

Peace
