Finally, Pictures of my car on the net!
Check out this link

(If I'm allowed to do that). Been awhile since I posted, but that's because I got out of my house after my surgery and did nothing but drive. Hope you like my (nearly) stock car.

Sadly, I havn't... I was bedridden for a month after my surgery, and I'm allowed to get a job... soonish (or so the doc says). Once I get a job, I'll be going as far N/A as possible, and if I get greedy, maybe a T/C S/C setup. We'll see. Interior is just black and silver/grey leather.
Edit: And I'm actually looking to get a new paint job, since my car keeps getting keyed... looking into the pontiac dark orange color, if you know what I'm talking about. Would fit my name better :-D

Well BigO... It depends if you have the same problem I do. I started taking my pin striping off (My tib looks Exactally like yours) and I found out the dealer painted a two tone blue pin stripe on the tib and the gray vinyl is just covering it eyeroll.gif .
If you dont have that smile.gif then just use either a hair dryer or wait until a nice warm day and it will just pull off. Warming it up just helps it come off in one piece. When cold, the vinyl just cracks and it takes FOREVER to take off.
One thing... if you start to take it off, you need to take it off. I never had luck with re-applying vinyl once it hits air. Where you lifted the vinyl up, it will start to curl back up after time (even if it looks like its sticking well).
You dont have to wory about losing paint. Ive done alot of vinyl work and never had it lift paint.
Edit: How long has the vinyl been on the car? If its been several years, the paint could be darker under the vinyl from the sun fading the paint everywhere but under the vinyl.

VINYL guys, it's VINYL.
LOL
For the bodykit, I wouldn't do the Vielside, it looks horrible and is HUGE, not to mention LOW.
Go for a lip kit or the Zefiro series.
Ixion is very nice too.
BTW, after the current GB's are up, Kspec.com will be having a lip kit GB from www.tuls.co.kr
What surgury did you have?
