I ordered my Chrome stripping from Trdsparks.com and recieved my stuff perfect, the only thing is I can't get my oem ones off to put my new ones on. Is there a way to do it yourself? I ask the dealership how much to just pull my oem ones off and they wanted to charge me $70. If I had the Nylon tool, I could do it myself.
Open to any suggestions...

$70 bucks! Geez you could probably buy the tool cheaper. Maybe someone at a body shop could pop them off for a few bucks under the table. Post some pics when you get them on. I have a TCM and am thinking about the chrome strips and handles for mine.

^ I was thinking about doing the same thing :)

chris man, just come over to my house this weekend, i've got a dremel ;-)

seriously though, lemme know if Andre can't help ya and you can bring it over to the "wieland garage" and we can take a look at it ;-)

Werd, does the Wieland garage warranty apply to this too? The end of the drive way is kinda short ;-)

i told you, end of the driveway is the extended warranty, regular warranty, back out of my garage, warnanty voided!

Roll the window down and pull?

He did it already, it's in the pix he linked to. It's pretty subtle on a TCM...

Thanks for the info Myopic for when I get around to doing it :)

Great write up Myopic, I had a friend lend my some lock picking tools. I needed something that had a 90 degree bend on the end. Turned out it took me only 10min for the whole thing. The back was really easy, no tool required. LOL

After viewing Boxer's gallery of his TCM, I can only assume he does modifications professionally. Beautiful work on exterior, interior, and engine compartment, with craftsmanship finishing throughout.


Haha, def not a professional, but nice of you to say so. I think it's more obsessive compulsive... Also helps to have friends with more technical knowlege than I do. :)

Dajap's is definitely one of the nicest xB's I've seen.

Where's your pix Myopic? Looks like you have some nice mods on yours...
