loooking goood dude, keep up the good work!

Did you have to take the door cards off to take these off? I tried taking mine off a little while ago by just taking the two bolts out but that only seemed to remove the inner part. 22122011308.jpg

Lush car btw, nice job with the carbon wrapping :thumbsup:
