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.

http://www.amazon.com/Klean-Strip-KL.../dp/B000VI13L6

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.

Oops thought I posted this...




Installed the ARB, did an oil change, and put on the wheels today.




Transmission jack is nice





All done!

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).
