Default '04 w/ rings only trunk

Well I debadged the back of my A8 last night. I'm very happy with the way it looks without them. The operation wasn't too bad, took about 40 minutes to complete. The adhesive is like a very tough rubber cement, I was able to roll 95% of it off using a clean cloth under my thumb. It's a bit tough, but using a hair dryer to keep the adhesive warm helped.

Here's a couple of after shots:

and

Now I'll be real stealthy in the rain/fog ;-)

very nice and clean. "balance of 3" - triangulates well with the exhaust tips.

Default Badges, you don't need no.......

You probably know the rest ;-)

Well if I was willing to give them up, the timing would almost have been perfect. It looks like I'll have a short layover in Philly tomorrow on the way back to Spain. But I'll keep them for down the road if I ever need to put them back on.

Have I missed the pics of your car? I'm waiting to see that flashy silver car of yours. Weren't you getting a dvd screens mounted in the headrests?

On your way BACK to Spain? Already? If you get bored in Philly(nah, couldnt happen!) 800-369-4166!! Hey , I could have suggested a 976# but.........! The frames for the DVD were sewn into the headrests last Thursday and the screens plus the "guts" get installed this Friday. I hope to shoot some pix this weekend. have a safe trip.
