16V fender parts swap

[rocco2nr@hotmail.com (Joe Doty)]

Hoboy.  Get ready for at least an hour or so of fun removing the kit piece.  
The glue that they use to put it on is so f*#$ing tacky.  Be glad you don't 
have to remove the entire kit.

My advice to you is to get a heat gun and some scrapers (like a razor blade 
on a stick, thanks Meze) or big flat blade screwdrivers.  Once you get all 
the screws out, start heating the FENDER, not the kit.  If you heat the kit 
too much you'll melt the paint but the paint on the fender won't melt.  That 
tip courtesy of Doug Teulie (16v body kit master).  Plus you don't care 
about it anyway.  Try not to yank on the kit piece really hard (at steep 
angles) or else it won't fit right when you put it back on.  Just work 
slowly and steadily.

The cold weather also makes it difficult.  I replaced one my right rear 
fender flare in blazing weather (+100 degree), it pulled right off when I 
got the screws out.  I'll probably end up waiting for the hotass weather to 
replace my fender.

Oh, and I've heard there's another nasty substance that glues the inside of 
the fenderwell to the car.  Not sure how tough that is.
