    Yeah I just soak adhesive on glass with windex or Invisible Glass, then take my fingernail to it.

    Good as gone.

    Spent the past two hours masking. What a serious PITA.

    And I'm pretty disappointed with Rockauto's (technically the manufacturer's) craftsman ship. On the website it says the grille is "black." In the picture of the item you can clearly see it's two tone. Black on the inside and a pewter on the outside (what's visible in the pic below). Only problem is, there's so much overspray of that pewter that it made it impossible to have a clean finished product. I'm still confused as to why there's any color on it at all when it's described as being black :notsure:

    :(

    You'll see the problem when you get here.

    It's one of those things that will be a beacon every time I walk by the truck.

    The good news is, I think I'm starting to get over my internal fight between perfectionism/OCD and incompetence.

    Funny, I have that exact grill in my cart on Rockauto right now. Any complaints other than the overspray?

    It was missing one clip.

    Other than that it's fine.
