I've got one that's around 10-12" if you want a new one. I've been trying to get rid of the *****, but everyone says he is too big for their tank.

My friends were kept on telling me my algae eater was too big for the tank. When I bought it, it was really small. sigh........
I think I'll try to give away my fishes now.....don't want to kill innocent lives

Hmm, the tape did not stick? Did you scrub the kit really good with cosmet? Your suppose to otherwise the paint and tape won't stick.
You should think about having your grill painted while your at it too.
Sorry to hear about your algea eater, I have a 6 inch one in a 20 gallon tank..

So how did you get the back on?? I know you were having a lot of trouble with it.
As for not using tape, how did you hold up the areas that weren't riveted down, like the middle of the front, sides and rear?
emax - did you use tape after cleaning it?? My kit SHOULD arrive on monday and the body shop is going to start fixing my car that day too, so any last minute advice would be nice. Should I use screws or rivets???
Mahalo!

at first I used a hair dry for about an hr, then I try to use hot water, then I use boiled water,,,,,and finally put half of my rear kit into the oven @ 200 degrees and baked it for about 15 mins = Got it on in 30 seconds
I do have some tape in the front..not sticking though. I was too lazy to peel 'em off. As for the sides, I riveted 'em down good. For the back since it fitted so tight, I just have 1 screw right above where the exhaust is at

Car looks slick!! When are you planning on having it painted?
Can't wait to get the kit in, shipping time is a little longer than expected so I'm a little nervous. I'd be happy just to sit in my car again - it's been 6 weeks already!!! I've been driving a Ford Focus and man, it's a piece of shirt!!!! The way I drive it, I only get 200 miles/tank - there's just not enough power.

Since the paint shop I'm gonna get it done at don't work on weekends, that means I gotta be without my car for 2-3 days during weekdays (I live 30 miles away from school). So I was thinking maybe I should just rent a car, but my friends are telling me to save the money and wait 'til spring break to do it (March). So i don't know yet, I know it looks ghetto, but.........i really don't have any other choice right now
