Shame about the wrap getting messed up. But at least it wasn't the paint.
I'd love to hear the difference between those mids and the stock n55 mids! And yeah I don't think it got down to the paint luckily.

And you're looking at the tool / repair tradeoff wrong. Tools are always worth buying. It's ALWAYS better to spend the money on tools that will continue giving you pleasure, than on a one-time job.
Not really sure on your logic here lol. Renting a car for a day is a $50 minimum, especially on short notice, if they even have a car available. Likely also requiring an uber ride to the lot and back afterwards.

I'd agree with you on buying tools being an investment if I had a place to store them. I'm in an apartment building with a small storage shed that's already bursting at the seams with car shit.

Also, we had to use an acetylene torch to get the nuts out, butane wasn't "cutting" it. Certainly not about to go buy one of those LOL.

Thanks man I'll snag some pics later, it's not bad but when the car is clean it's definitely noticeable. Mostly because the black paint is such a stark contrast on the white.
