New project, need some help!

Hey guys. New project time.

How would I go about getting my power mirrors and the platesd they sit on to paint them, and also is there a way to safely remove the glass and put it back in after painting is done??? Second, is there a way to get the door handles off to paint them???, third, how do I remove my stock spoiler to put on a stock white one, exactly the same, thanks guys, and please reply with your answers,

Re: New project, need some help!

Do you actually try these projects before you ask on here or do you just go ahead and ask without trying? There are common sense answers to all 3 of those.

Re: New project, need some help!

I ask first because the weather here is -31 degrees celcius with blowing wind, and I have to work in it, so I'd rather get all the info first and be out there as little as possible......changing tailights was a major body number the other day....can anyone help??? Still need help on all 3 things!

Re: New project, need some help!

For the mirrors, you have to remove the triangle shaped plastic piece on your door where the sideview sits by removing one screw. Then there are three screws you have to take out to take the mirror off. If they are power mirrors, unplug the harness.

The spoiler has several bolts that you remove from the underside of your trunk lid.

I have no idea on the door handles, but I'm sure you have to remove your door panels by removing seven (I think) screws and the manual window crank if you do not have power windows and remove the door handle from inside the door.

Why don't you just buy a bodykit and not paint it, same thing you're doing. IMO just leave the bottom of the car white if you really have to, the mirrors and spoiler white with the rest of the car red is gonna look completely stupid and you will get made fun of by 99% of people.

You are right but it would still look ridiculous and he wouldn't get flamed just by people on forums.
