    i used back to black on my mirrors, worked about 2 weeks and then faded again. save the trouble and time expense and go ahead and paint them but don't take them off unless you have all those damn little replacement clips

    If I paint them, I'm taking them off and doing it in the garage and doing it right so it lasts. I'll happily buy the clips.

    If you have to all you gotta do is go in there and ziptie through the holes the clips would go in.

    Did the "clutch pedal squeak" mod (thanks trmarshall1 for the brake pedal return spring!)

    I actually took the bottom portion of the dash off (I mean, it's four bolts and a screw) because I'm not a contortionist and I had a hard time getting leverage on the torsion spring.

    I also only have a large crowbar... that didn't fit under there, so I was using the largest flathead screwdriver I have for the prying. I had a slight bitch of a time getting that middle part (2nd pic) out of the groove on the pedal. I'm going to go back out there and just bend the one end of the spring around the head near the cotter pin, for peace of mind.

    But all in all, it took me less than 10 minutes. Took Ol' Red for a test drive and I love the feel of the pedal now. Just slightly tighter feel than original. Plus it returns to the utmost position which is nice for the cruise control switch. (I'm just going to have to get used to not sticking my foot behind the pedal now :) )

    Oh... and most importantly. NO MORE SQUEAK!!!

    Honestly, that's the only tube bumper I've ever liked the looks off.

    Well done, man.
