    well thats what i heard to use but i didnt have any so i just used dental floss. fishing line is probably alot better because my dental floss kept breaking and i ran out just as i got to the last letter so i kinda just wiggled it abit untill it cam off. after that i just peeled the glue that was still on the car off with my hand took some magic cleaning wax and boom looks sexy.

    I wana black out my mitsu diamond are you going to paint it or use a vinly? I dont know about the vinly because it seems like it dosnt cover the whole thing and i dont want any chrome.

    Looks good, If you don't want to see any chrome then you should paint it. I put vinyl on mine but I didn't want the whole thing colored, I still wanted a little chrome showing.

    I didn't like the chrome either, but I went for a more subtle chrome look.

    I cut the diamonds a tad shorter, on purpose, so it shows a chrome lining around it. It's a nice little detail that no one else really notices, but I love it.

    looks very clean....i was actually thinking of doing that as well...but still haven't done it yet...yesterday I installed the Injen CAI and now I'm looking to buy the exhaust, thinking of the Greddy Ti-C or the Tsudo....any input on the exhausts?? also found the black grill, im swapping with a friend of mine who has a DE...the only chrome I plan to have are the Mitsu diamonds and the exhaust once I get it...but I really liked the look on your car Geaux...
