Message	Just did it to mine...front, sides, and rear. Took off the bumpers and had a poly bumper repair shop smooth them out for me. They did a fantastic job and returned them to me primed and ready to paint. After my paint shop finished they were smooth as glass with the stock look retained. The side rock guard I took off with a hot water pressure washer....cut the stuff right off. Followed up with a very good paint solvent to clean up the little stuff that the pressure washer missed. Overall it does look much better than a valance, I'll try to post some pics later, just waiting for my spoiler to be finished. BTW - try to get your Z up on some sort of rack to make it easier to get the underside of the rocker panels. Burkhart Ledeboer
