Celica Forums General Discussion General Body Add On Removals?

well i took off my ww rear valace. . . and yeah, i used a heat gun to warm up the rubber shit that keeps it on there. well after awhile it heated up to much and my pant on my bumper began to flake, yep flake everywhere. so anyways, i dont care about it flakeing becuase im getting new front and rear bumpers , but i have to do my side skirts and i dont want to mess that paint up anyways. .


is there an easy was to do it or no? .. or do i just have to take my time and keep the heat gun not nearly as close. .?!?. . . didn't know if there was a chemical or somthin

use a hairdryer... heatguns are obviously too hot... you learned the hard way.

Yea, that sucks man

Just peel them off the sides and get the two sided tape off with some adhesive remover.

Yup, then you won't damage the surrounding paint.

where r you located at? you want to part out those ww front/rear and sides, what color car do you have

Black, it's in his profile

its FS in the FS fourm. . 350$ obo. .. . pennsylvian 18976. .

what adhesive remove should i use?!?!

o, and i tried a hair drier but it didn't seem hot enough, i guess i have to hold it closer and longer. ..

You can use goof off, Wd-40, or denatured alcohol I'd use the alky myself but dont rub too hard let the chemicai soak in and do its work.

so just pour in in the crease where the skirts and stuff match up to the car and let it sit. . ?. . just want to double check . .. where can you get the alky stuff?

You can get the denatured alky at any hardware store. Yeah you can pre soak it first and it might help but yer gonna have to peel em off the car no matter what.

You may also get a couple of cheap flexible plastic putty knives and use them to kinda cut through the foam.

god damn, well so far so good, but i am went to take my front lip off.. and ya. . i got both sides off. . and then i got to the middle, the dude put the cicular sticky things all along there, prob 4.. so i have to take my whole front bumper off to get the hair dryer in there .. . shiteeeee

alky= alcohol, such as rubbing alcohol, any goods store has it, such as target and walmart...

Ouch, use a crow bar next time

all i have to say, is i think the guy that put my wwkit on sucks balls. . . he used this black black shit that is sooo sticky, that it wont hardly let loose with a hair dryer. and when get it loose enough after 20mins of blow drying it, it pulls my damn paint off with it. .. damnit. . well 1 skirt left and 1/2 of my front lip left. . so enough
