EMEX... that's a good job with just dental floss and rubbing alcohol. but for future reference try using a 3M adhesive remover (for automotive use). the rubbing alcohol if you have a little bit older car would damage the paint. how long did it took you to do the whole trunk part? just curious!

It took me about 10-15 min no more.
I checked out with hardware stores about adhesive removers, because someone recomended me to use goo off. And the guy told me that goo off can take off paint right with the lettering. And then I asked him, if rubbing alcohol would work and he said yes. So I didn't wanna risk taking the paint off, so I used rubbing alcohol. Worked very well. Plus after I removed the letters the glue or tape that was holding the letters was still there, and that I removed by hand.

But they have spray products specifically designed to clean a car's finnish without hurting the paint like bug and tar remover. That guy who said to use rubbing alchohol on your paint is an idiot, no offence

well most people recomend goo off which is even more riskier. rubbing alcohol effects the paint too, I agree with that and have been told that. But I did use small amounts and it did do the job. A buddy of mine who does a lot of stuff with paint (cars ofcoarse, he paints the enterior of lights and that sorta thing, so he knows a lot about paint) told me that rubbing alcohol takes off paint from plastic mostly, but still can cause harm to paint on the car body, but since my cas is new, it worked quete well.

Also added a front strut bar today, just over an hour ago actually. It improved the ride so much. Now I juse need to get my Tein type S springs and I'll be set with my handling mods.
