    Well my buddy told me how mud can build up behind the mud flaps. You know what he was right. However I had no idea how much of a pain it was to remove them.
    [MotorCity I :worship: you! I thought I was going to go :crasy: working on those mud flaps!

    It isnt too horrible on an Accord. I haven't driven my new one that much yet, but on the 2003 I used to take them off every time I washed at home. Minding you that I was washing the car at night.

    Rocco,

    Sorry if our disccussion caused you a tough time... I also have a 2003 Accord and like sneek said it's an easy process..

    But hey you got them all cleaned up and back on..

    Maybe next time will be easier now that you've got it under your belt once

    Out of curiosity, what step gave you the trouble?

    I guess I should have taken a pic first. Maybe I should have gotten the T thing you were talking about! :shrug: I could only turn it 2 clicks at a time. I tired the shortest screw driver they make and there just was not enough clearance. :shrug:

    That's cool, I've only done that once on one of my vehicles and it so hapens it was a Honda Civic I owned once...I don't know if I'd be doing that all the time though, heck if you can do it twice a year it should be good to go but then again that's just me :2cents:

    Vehicle looks great Rocco...oooh you need to try the Black WOW stuff, it dosen't even compare to the Black Again product...I used Black Again my self and after usin Black WOW I can't go back to Black Again.

    I'm assuming you used the heater right?

    Looks great Rocco and the VRP rocks doesn't it!!! And by the way Nica is right Black Wow is the bomb! I just got some CGs Trim Gel and can't wait to use it to compare it to Black Wow.
