A Hobby Dovetail Saw. I call them mini dovetails because they're smaller than a regular dovetail saw that you'd use to cut large pieces of wood.



They do a great job of cutting plastics. I've used it a couple times to cut broken plastic rivets on the car.

Painted the Ebay V-Limited yesterday. Mounted it today. I give fitment an A... as in A Pain in the Ass. None of the bolt holes lined at all when mounting. My initial quick fit a few weeks ago proved to be inaccurate. Luckily there is a little stretch with urethane so I was able to get everything lined up and drill a few new holes. I had to use longer bolts than stock to get enough thread engagement. The Genuine V-limited holes are just slightly off. After some massaging, I'm happy with the final fitment.

Here's my "paint booth":


I applied 3 coats of adhesion promoter and 6 coats of Flat Black bumper coating. I'm really happy with the way the paint came out.

Final Product mounted:

Nice...good idea about the under side of the heat shield. Never though about that! You use ThermoTec High Temp Black heat spray?

If you ever part that car out (which I doubt, since you have like the most pristine 05 in the US... ) I call dibs on your headlights.
