those stupid croc clips are a pain in the ****
trick to not breaking them is to take a thin small flat head screw driver (those mini ones from dollar store or whatever) and a needle nose plier
jam the flat head into each tooth and lightly pick away at each tooth
do that for both sides
then jam ur flat head BEHIND the entire croc peice, and wiggle the peice loose with ur needle nose

i learned how to do it easily after mutilating the first peice
really, i don't see the point in having those peices there..... considering they have 20 billion screws holding the damn lip in place already
anyway, hope this helps

ok anyways boys, I got everything painted. and it came out really good. left the lip on the car and just taped off around it very carefully.

I was not sitting next to my car waiting for the phone to ring, mainly because i figured no one would have any input.

pictures will be up soon.
