I used Aircraft remover to strip the paint off a trunk lid, just spray it on, let it foam up, then settle. then used a plastic paint scrapper to scrap it off... but most of it could have just been wiped off. stuff literally lifts the paint up.

not sure if thats the exact same stuff, i bout mine from O'reillys
comes in either spray or pour on. i used spray. not kidding stuff was crazy effective.

I've been using aircraft stripper, that seems to be the only thing that works at all... Unfortunately, it seems to peel up a layer of aluminum with it as well... I cannot have that, so as of now i'm at a standstill.

Got an e-locker skid plate and metal hinges for my rear hatch windows to replace the broken plastic pieces.

Should be here on the 15th.

Newer like 05+ (second gen) or newer like 2001-2004 (first gen, facelift)?

Yes they are WAY expensive here too. Dealer wanted 12K for mine with 112K on it! I talked him down to 8K (they didn't know a thing about it, I got it at an Audi dealership).
