you see Nomar06?. they just look dumb!. (IMO) i don't think that there should be anything underneath the car except for the rubber strip that runs across the front bumper (under spoiler) is what i believe they call it. when i bought my Si, i told those A-holes that i didn't want ANYTHING on it!. TOTALLY CLEAN i told them and they said "we'll throw all those extra's in for FREE". i don't think they understood me. i didn't care about getting **** for free. i just didn't want the PIN STRIPES, SUNROOF VISOR, MUDFLAPS, AND I KNOW THEY COULDN'T DO MUCH ABOUT THE BRAKE COOLING VENTS (ATLEAST THATS WHAT I THINK) BUT I JUST WANTED EVERYTHING OFF.

To me, those little brake cooling vent things just look like something thats broken underneath the car. like it cought up on something while driving. you know what i mean?. sometimes you'll see people with something broken underneath their cars as if they ran over something or something just got cought up under there.....looks goofy.

I have a BRAND NEW Craftsman drill that i've never really used. i'll have to FINALLY use it. but before i go off drilling ****, i'll have to make sure that there's no other way of getting those off. i work at a harley davidson dealership and i'm betting that atleast 1 of the tech's there has something to take those off. i believe they ARE rivets, and i've seen the rivet tool in the shop before. I THINK IT'S GO TIME.

OH, and Nomar06, i seen what you've done with your mudflaps and painted them TW....NICE. but aren't you afraid that in time the MF's will ruin your paint?. thats probably the MAIN reason why i took mines off. you know that in time with those things on your car and you hitting holes and bumps and whatnot, that your MF's will start shifting and moving around slightly and start scratching the HELL outa your paint. THANK GOD i didn't notice anything bad after i removed my MF's the other day. things are
