If I was you, i'd prime it now... and by tomorrow you'd prolly be safe to sand it. I couldnt sand mine, so now it has a slightly textured surface... it matches the fins very well though, so I'm cool with it. And yes, the alcohol is a good idea... isopropyl is pretty universal stuff, from cleaning brakes to getting surfaces ready for paint... you really cant go wrong. -- though I hear driking it is bad. whatever!

 

I already did the clear corners, do i have to take the grill out to take the quattro off?

 

I'm gonna say no... it'd be easier... but you should be able to do it with it in the car. It is just some clip with little "teeth" holding the quattro badge to the grill.

 

I am thinking about doing the clear corners tomorrow... I have the eye of the tiger this weekend! ...

I think I'm gonna go watch Rocky I... seriously.

 

got my ****, i'm sanding it right now and i'll prime it tonight so i can sand it again tomorrow...i need to find some cheap one-piece headlights somewhere! i don't even want ecodes, just the us-spec projectors, i'll clear em myself...[:@][:@][:@][:@]

 

Check ebay bent? aaahh i love having a 99.5.

 

yea, i've been checkin back at ebay every few days, but they're all the cheap aftermarkets, and they always go up above 300 bucks...i don't understand why there's so many people that buy ecodes, and yet there's never any OEM us-spec headlights up for sale...

 

[:@][:@][:@] this 220 grit paper isn't cuttin it for me, i'm going back to the hardware store for some 150 or something like that

 

I'm thinkin about paintin it silver, good idea?

 

i think it would look much better painted whatever color your car is...tomritt used a silver on his lowers that matches pretty well, you can ask him which one he used....i'm halfway done with mine now, i've got the primer coat on...i'll wetsand it and finish painting tomorrow...
