Could us a DA & sand it off, then re paint the roof.
They didn’t really paint up there anyway, it’s more like over spray so that’s the only way it’ll look “finished”

Thinking about taking my sawzall and cutting them off.
I wonder if a heat gun would make it easier to remove them.

Seriously? I guess that will harden the sticky residue to where it can break off?
reminds me of my old frat house....

Installed a few parts over the Thanksgiving weekend. Ended up installing my Verkline rear trailing arms and my Plastics 4 Performance Lexan Polycarbonate windows in all the doors except for the two small 1/4 windows, because those were a bitch to try and remove the trim. The trim is glued on to those little windows and decided to just leave it for the professionals to deal with it since I would have destroyed it if I kept trying. Also didn't do the rear hatch because I will install that window in my new hatch, that is carbon fiber, once it arrives which I was told would either be by the end of November or December.
The OEM bolts on the knuckle were a PITA to get off. I had to use the bar to my floor jack and attach it to my ratchet for leverage and spray some WD-40 on the bolt to help loosen it up.
As you can see, the polycarbonate window is grey but not as dark as the tint on my windows. Next up is my RaceTech seat with a 5 point harness.

Swapped out my OCC's last night. Replaced the Death Star (Spulen) can and plate with APR's version. Went to start my car right after and my battery is dead. Smh... Oh well, good time to install my Braille G30 battery.

Just a small update... The V2 and Trackslag are both finally removed from my car along with all of the coolant and oil lines for the turbo. Next up is to cut new coolant and oil lines and install my G30-900 turbo kit along with my DBV2 FMIC. After that will be my Galano IM along with all new and bigger fuel lines, FPR, and inline fuel filter. My roll cage and race seat I will have a shop do that since I don't have any welding experience and will be the last items to install.

Well the TS has already been put up for sale and already has potential buyers. The V2 will most likely go up for sale as well.
