Removing 16v kit (permenantly)...
Well, I won't be pulling the kit until I can get the dings=
filled, and the whole car repainted (got rust to deal with=
too... stupid FL car! Sure miss the southwest only 85' now...)
But I think this is a definite. It's not growing on me. I thought=
I would like it, and a lot of people comment that "This one=
looks nicer/newer than your other one". But it's not what I=
want. I miss the 85' a lot. I dropped it more after CINCY on=
those Borbets, and it was the bombest roc I'd ever seen! My=
girl's brother drooled over it evertime I saw him. Cats in town=
would be like "Whoa!" When I pulled up. It took a lon time for=
me to love it's looks, but after it all came together I wouldn't=
have had it any other way. <sniff-sniff>...
Now if Mr. Harder would just sell/trade me those gold BBS's.

Hey Josh...
The 16v body kit is quite permanent... in my experience, you=
will have the
most trouble with the fenders. The glue is very strong and will=
almost
certainly take some paint with it when you try to get it off. =
The side skirts
and front and rear valance are screwed in place and have some=
glue attaching
them to the fender pieces. There will be a few screw holes left,=
but the more
I think about it, maybe not more than a few...
so the biggest issue I can think of is that glue holding the=
fender pieces on.
If you could remove it safely without affecting the paint... then=
I think
you would be ok. I think that using a heat gun would really help=
with removing
that glue safely.
Has anyone sucessfully removed this glue without disturbing the=
paint?
Oh, and don't forget the lower door mold pieces that are glued=
too...
I like that clean look too... 16v sleeper... ;)
Good luck
