Corsair Side Strip Removal
« on: Apr 26, 2011, 10:12PM »
hey boys, so imma make my corsair look less like a grannymobil. lowerd in buddyclubbs just doesnt cut it. So i sat there just thinking, what next ? than i realised those ugly ass strips had to go.

so my question is, is it just sticky shit that i could pull off ? or are they clipped in any sort of way ?.

cheers

Pretty confident it's just glue. Actually double sided tape more so.

Peel strip off. Clean with eucalyptus oil or similar. Test a bit on some unseen paint to make sure it won't damage it.

If you are a bit unlucky it might take off a bit of paint when you peel them off, you might end up with dodgey door paint.
