thanks a lot guys, also another question, someone suggested the s2k is slammed, what do u guys thinK?
here are some more pix, thanks again




mmm.. buffed

 

does look like its dropped a bit- not a lot, which makes me guess eibach pros...

and clay is your friend for the paint solution- clay was first used for paint overspray in paint shops... it works on dry paint too.
as for your top, you have a challenge cause anything strong enough to get paint off of vinyl can melt the vinyl too.
let us know whether you really have paint on the top and we will give you some choices...

thanks wanabe

the springs look regularblack to me, i did notice a litle bit of bouncing on the way home, i hope they're not cut. i havent been able to acutally park beside a stock s2k to compare it....

as for the clay, i'll definitly check it out, can i use a blade on my glass?

 

you are welcome!

i assume you mean a razor blade- the answer is yes...
but test first in a small area, and be careful not to damage any rubber around the edges
try the clay first-

 

I used to work at a lexus dealership and we used razors to take off the windo stickers. Just spray on some glass cleaner, and slowly scrape. Just be very careful as you could scratch the window.

 

Are you talking about the white stuff everywhere? If so, that looks more like compound to me. If so, it will come off pretty easily. I often use Poorboys Spray & Wipe to safely remove that stuff. Assuming I am looking at the wrong thing in the pictures, I try to avoid razor blades on glass where I can. If you get something stuck in the blade or have a bad spot on the blade you can do some damage. Before going to the blade, I usually try goo remover. This is what I used to get the sticker residue and plastic cover residue off of my 2007.

Got another vote from me to try the clay first.
