Default Along came a Spyder (or should I say fly?!!!)

So after 24k miles on my Spyder, I decided it's time for a full intense detail.

Don't ask me how this little bugger got in here, but I think the only way to get him out is by taking the tail lights out?



Also, does anyone have a solution to keep all the road debris out of the radiator vent? I guess you could put that race mesh stuff in there but not sure how that would look or how easy it would be to install.



I'll post more pics later after the full detail. I think it's going to be a couple of weekends to get it done. Even after doing a clay bar and wax on the rear deck lid in particular, it still had a grainy feel to it which I don't like. I think I am going to have to hit it with something a little more abrasion to get that smooth as glass feel to it!

looks like you need to take the lamp out to get him out. if even then. it might not be fun...

As for road debris, some steamy blasts of water should get them out.

I installed a set on my radiator intakes and they do a great job keeping the leaves, bugs and other debris out. Hopefully they will also keep any larger stones from hitting the radiator and causing damage.
