Cat Delete Pipes

Finally dropped the second set of cats. (Thanks for the pipes NewArt.) This was actually one of the easiest modifications I've done. Shot a little PB Blaster on the old bolts and they came off no...

Leather Trim

Apply a thin coat to both surfaces. Let it tack up (about 15 minutes). It will be basically dry to the touch. I usually started in the centerline of the part and marked the centerline on the part...
