It does take some careful muffler husbandry to make it happen though

Re: Looking at a CTS-V.... some questions
Sadly, did not even realize those were not stock :/. What do you think the easiest way to remove them would be? Hair dryer?
Let's just say, I've already removed some more heinous "additions"!

Thanks, I'm pretty happy with it so far . Me and my uncle (mechanic) spent Saturday checking it over, other than needing replacement brakes next summer, it's in phenomenal shape.94Corolla5Speed wrote:My gf's dad has the same thing, except in a dark blue. Looks great. 5-speed also

Re: Looking at a CTS-V.... some questions
Those letters are almost certainly common adhesive-backed stuff. Warm them with a hair dryer and use a plastic putty knife to get behind them, or use a label-removing solvent (WD-40, Goo Gone, Goof Off, or something made specifically for removing labels). Whatever you do, try it on an inconspicuous place first to make sure your paint won't be damaged.

Just thought I'd mention, I found out that Goof Off doesn't play well with plastic. Use with caution.

Re: Looking at a CTS-V.... some questions
I just thought of a good one: Hot water (and a plastic putty knife). You know that won't hurt the car.

Re: Looking at a CTS-V.... some questions
That sounds good. I don't know if you can see in the rear bumper picture, but I have a bit of haze on the left side (where I had to remove a sticker). I heated it up and just used my fingernail to get the sticker off, and used spray 9 to clean up the Goo. Came off fine... but then I have this haze. I could probably clean that up with a polish?theholycow wrote:I just thought of a good one: Hot water (and a plastic putty knife). You know that won't hurt the car.
