It's messy. With paint, it's nice cause you just brush it on, and you can literally wipe the all the paint and primer away with a towel and it's down to bare metal in like 10-15 min. For the sound deadening material, it kinda just softens it up so that you can remove big chunks of it without having to use a lot of force. Make sure you have a bucket to put the chunks in. It'll take a few layers of it to get the sound dead. material all the off, but yes it will get it and it does a decent job.

just remove your speakers..id rather lose my beat than power steeringOriginally posted by gloryaccordyComment

Power steering isn't that bad to lose, I like how my Accord drives w/o it. You aren't going to lose that much weight from removing it, but if you're trying for every pound, then go for it.
Has anyone removed the wires/bars from the bottom of the trunk lid?-Jay

Nah...I can't live without music. That's a no go. I did remove my subs though and it's not as awful as I thought it would be...but as far as the basic CD player + 4 speakers those are necessities for me...Originally posted by wed3k
And I think P/S is really only a power sapper when you're parallel parking. Is there really a noticeable difference in feel at speed?

i felt my acceleration greater around the mid power band....
you gain about 5 hp from removal of P/S...but its not a gain @ highway speeds..but you will definetely feel a difference in acceleration from 0-55 mph
getting used to parking ...is kinda hard...you will have stronger arms tho..i gaurantee

Aghhhh...my friends and I used to laugh at the dudes in Civics with no P/S..."yo his forearms must be crazy, I bet he gotta parallel park at home and work"Originally posted by 93EXaesthetic
Blah...it only weighs 6 pounds from what people are saying, and I don't want my rack to die. Might as well keep it on.
