Well the FNG is getting to work on my 99. I've set up an appointment at Line-X to get the cladding coated...Also ordered some scissor slide Lambo Doors. Will up date with photos once done.
Quick Question...Is it better to remove the Cladding? What are the issues I'll have...i.e are there anyparts that I'll need to order before I do..double sticky foam?? Tape...new bolts...?
Going with a fire copper coatings...nearly matches the red (more like burnt orange) interior.

there is double sided tape in a few places behind the cladding. I think you need to start fom the front bumper and work your way back, i know i can get the front bumper off in about 5 minutes and remember that the rear bumper was a PITA because 4 of the bolts were hidden behind the quarter panels

iirc there are also rivets holding the cladding in the rear fender wells, not sure what you do about those

is that the plant off the ridley park exit on 95? i still get all these towns mixed up.. all i know is that in a 3 mile drive to get on 95 i drive thru at least 8 towns... as far as changing i dunno i heard it used to be nice lol not so much in the 2 years ive been there.. i know in darby they are trying to "revitalize" but so far all the under-construction houses are just giving clean slates for graffiti artists

shoot it's been a while but exiting 95 to Glenolden..I forget the street...but it is about 3 miles north in Springfield. There is a Newport News Shipyard building at the end of it...at least there used to be...
Yeah As I rememeber...that place was the pits...I thought the streets were clostrophobic and the place fairly dirty...I remember Darby and Upper Darby and heading into West Chester...but the truth is I spent most of my time going back and forth to the Airport..traveling almost every week to Grumman, Sirkorsky, and a host of other aircraft manufacturers and sea ports to shrink wrap Jets, Yachts, Cars, buses...you name it.
Thanks again for the input and I'll update with some pics and data...especially on the doors...
Cheers
