^^^^^^ What Tom says. Gaudin is where I've bought the majority of my stuff. Best prices, quick turn around, and free shipping over $450. Also excellent customer service too!

Thanks for the link to Gaudin.
I ended up using Sunset but I'll check them out on the next parts order.

All of my items were received in five or six different shipments. That probably had an impact on shipping cost.

i’m not sure what I ended up paying for shipping. I’m going to guess it was not very much since I didn’t give it a second thought. Everything came from Suncoast.

How do you separate the black air louvres from the rear spoiler for painting?
Is it just snapped in somehow?

You don’t as far as I know they are bonded together
Maybe someone else has a method that I am not aware of and will educate us on it

I think you might be right, but i thought maybe there was some hidden clips in there somewhere.
Do you paint the fins black or just try and clean them up?

I just cleaned mine. I taped off the fins. Looking back I think it nay be easier to shoot the color then after a good dry and cure time tape off the color and shoot the black. Or shoot the whole thing body color😳I don’t think I have ever saw that

So what's the story with these Windshield washer nozzles?

I managed to pop them both up, but it looks like the only way you would remove/replace these things is if you had the suitcase out?
Is it really that difficult or am I missing something?

I have seen it said that you can by pushing them one way or the other while some how lifting the opposite end. Never with the old or the new was I able to do that
Very easy to pop back in. the wires are a different story cause you can tie on the old end before removing the nozzle right side connector is below right hinge close to frunk light connection. left side is more difficult but do able the connector is down there follow the tight color wires you will get it.

Nozzles are a pain. I don't think you can do it without taking out the suitcase unless you're very lucky.
If you aren't fully disassembling the car, you can probably leave them popped up like that and just have the painters mask around them.
I ended up replacing the nozzles because the right angle tube broke when I was trying to remove the hoses.

A person would have to have enough slack in the water lines to remove then replace without suitcase removal
then there is the chance by trying to get that slack
in water line pulling apart where you can’t see or access as far as I know

I've done some searching but I can't figure out if there is an easy way to pop out the front quarter windows.
I don't really want to remove all the door glass, but I do want to get these quarter windows out, and then replace the seals after the painting is done.
Thoughts?

Thanx,
Kirk

Leave the quarter glass in place and take the whole window frame out. Removing the glass from the regulator isn't a big deal.
