Oh gotcha yeah sounds kinda like the debadging gunk, which comes off with patience and a wax bar if needed..

Tmangt650 · 02-25-2013, 12:05 PM

On another note, bought a new front lip (common one seen around on the 2.5s, and one I HAD) waiting for it to get here then have my buddy paint it..can't wait

Any one in here with a red 2.5i hatch from Canada staying at smugglers notch?

You mean a clay bar?

You guys sound like you make a relatively easy job very difficult. WD-40 does an awesome job at removing adhesives and glue residue easily.

Yeah exactly thanks for the correction

You guys are on summers already? We get snow in April here sometimes! Early April at the earliest for summers.

I used goo-gone. Citrus based goo remover. Worked well on the adhesive left behind from the dealer badge.

Same, I'll be looking at another 6 feet before the summers get put on.

The goo gone didn't work too well on mine, it all came off but there was still residue on the trunk..

Use WD-40 and a few Scott's Shop Towels (or similar). It'll come right off.

I never took my summers off, and I live in upstate NY.

I used it with a microfiber and still had to use a lot of pressure to get it off.

Really? How was that for you? Your summers are probably destroyed.

I didn't feel like wasting the tread on my winters anymore so I HAD to switch. It's been too warm lately.

My Magnaflow came in 2 months before my headers did, I told my self they had to go on at the same time. Pretty hard 2 months, good luck with install.

Had a 98 Audi a6 money pit before this. Never again. Worst experience of life.

But my buddy always says, if its got tits or wheels, its bound to give you problems.

My bro had a '00 s4 before his 04 STI and ill I can remember is him spending his entire paycheck just for maintenance. Hell even a basic catback costs $1,500+ and the list goes on. I'm sure glad to have my Impreza
