It appears that the head light cover and back fenders are actaually painted over white plastic and it is pulling all the paint off. Might try a plastic safe remover tonight but I have a bad feeling it might not work.

Ouch, sorry to hear that...
I spoke to the manufacturer today for the product pictured (strypeeze)... he cautions this use on plastic of any kind..
but says perhaps working with it in small areas at a time with a warm bucket of sudsy water to immediately wash the area stripped might work... but again, stay working in small areas at a time and use the Warm/Sudsy water to neutralize the area immediately...
hope this helps...haven't tried it yet, but he says Lowes carries it...(that's actually why I called...for a local retailer...)

Just use a tub of wax and polish the stuff off gently. Too bad the stripper attacked the painted panels (it's one of those moments where 'testing on an inconspicuous place' would've paid off, but seeming it worked on the rest of the panels anyone would've make that mistake once...) Still, good progress on the tidy up.

Thanks a lot guys!! Yea I should have tried that in a small area but its to late now . All the paint on the top shroud was crap anyways all scratched. Ended up repainting. Needs a bit more work but is almost done at this point. Will post more pics after work.

I would try some mineral spirits on the painted white plastics

Maybe it's time to break out the yellow paint and build swimmingfree's 'flying banana' spree!

Its almost done



This is a mock up but after a wax and a few more bolts itl be ready.

What muffler is that? Does it help on performance???????

I cant believe how much top end this pipe created. With my stock pipe my speedo says 28-30mph max, assuming its correct. With the modded pipe I no joke people (Please dont think im lying) hit 36-37mph according to my speedo. BUT I HAVE NO BOTTOM END. She dogs and I mean dogs from 0-20mph. It has no off the line go but its like vtec hits and this thing screams

WHAT


PIPE


IS


THAT


?

Still trying to figure that out myself. Its a motoworks of some sort from way back in the day. The number stamped on its a 414 Milwaukee area code but they moved from here a while back I think. 6-7mph top end gain though... also extremely loud :/ It came on a spare parts spree I bought for 75 bucks lol bet this pipe alone is worth more then that.

I like the look of it as well! It looks better to me than the U on a lot of chamber pipes.
