Are you doing the inserts or spraying the front with plastic dip? I'm thinks of doing both but not sure yet.

Default Help Please thanks!

I keep seeing that people are saying they tuck their front seat belt back strap into the plastic trim to keep it from flapping. I am extremely paranoid that I am going to break something while trying to do this. Can someone please maybe give me an idea of what steps I need to go through to be able to make this mod or any pointers on what to avoid while trying to do this.

Thanks!

Super easy. Open your doors. Remove the plastic covering on the door sil (has to be removed to remove the cover over the seat belt). Give it a tug from the back and it will come right off. Then remove the belt out of the slit that it is normally set in. Pop the cover back in place with the belt running behind the cover. That's it. Really nothing to break except for those stupid plastic clips (Christmas trees). You can pick replacements up and any parts store.

It should be, but to be totally honest. I'm not sure. I have an 07. I doubt it's any different. Can anyone with a 12 chime in?

The country was founded on principles of freedom from religious persecution, actually.

And the whole "under God" part of the Pledge wasn't even added until the 1950's, during McCarthyism, as a response atheist Communists (look it up, this is fact). I don't see why anybody should have to say that part if they don't want to.


Anyway, why the HELL (pun intended) is this even being talked about in the mods thread? Jesus Christ!

I want to paint mine also and I just found some rubber sound deadening paint at pep boys that I am gonna use. We use the hard top for the winter months so it should be warmer and quieter.
