Don't know if this fits this thread. .. how would one go about removing rear spats that have been 3m taped? The same way as a de-bage?

Yeah pretty much. A heat gun will do the trick.

Bump with a recent job

that looks clean. i have a question. when i was hit by a asian lady in ny she managed not only yo crack my bumper but also to chip the paint off right on top of the licence plate. i can see the plastic. what should i do? putty then primer and color an clear or don't use the putty and just layer up the paint.

I don't think her race is relevant.

Pretty sure NY requires liability insurance for a min of $10K, didn't you get her info?

Just to give you guys a little insight on what it takes to do a proper paint job here is a link to the photos from the recent restoration IAG did to my 2002 WRX. This was close to 300 man hours and took about 2 months.

That is an incredible job on that car. Props to IAG on a job well done!
