    Update 3/20/2010.. Manage to salvage the moldings that clip to the door between the front and the rear glass. I also was able to save the taillights as well. I pal did some buffing magic and made them look almost like new.

    Before:


    We stripped the paint off the garnish, wet sanded the garnish and then took it to his new buffer:




    He then mounted the garnish and hit it w/ some mothers plastic polish - After:


    Next he will buff these:


    I also thought about shaving the antenna but honestly I like the little item poking up but have no use for the antenna system itself. So I got some glaze and filled in the hole. I will have an after photo once sanded and covered w/trim paint.





    Tomorrow is my birthday so I highly doubt I will be working on it any. I will take time to stop in and get some daylight shots of the taillights now that they are finished.
