Also you could take a popcycle stick and shave an edge into it and use it as
a scraper. it wont scratch the paint as bad as a ill placed razor will. Be
sure to rty and sopten the striping first. Just an idea.

They still do and the new wheels have more detail! The pads on the feet and
paws, eyes and mouth are painted black so you can really see them at a
distance. I dont like them, but on the right car, they would be ok. I think
they would look great on a Cabrio since that car is basically meant for the
ladies. (They were the targeted intended buyers)
