I thought having the rear apron removable was the new thing? Why not just bolt it on with fender beading on the seams?

well, think of it this way. I could be using a hack saw and pliers to bend and cut the dash so I can fit a cheap sterio/dvd player. Shocked

so in all I suppose this is the lesser of two evils.

just got this done today, used a cheap hplv spray gun I bought at a garage sale for $5 a few years back, my own mixture of rustoleum, and my dads air compressor. The results were SO much better than expected. I'm very happy!! Very Happy

WTF? If you have a paint gun, why don't you just paint the damn car the right way?
