What tools are you guys using to pull off the panels when making all these mods? Any trick to getting them off without breaking clips or anything? Thanks

The blue kit is pretty good, plus I have some metal panel poppers picked up from various places like SEARS and stuff.

Some will want some serious pull force, btw. Like quick ripping motion, instead of a slow steady pull.

Bought some cheap plastic ones on Amazon, they worked well enough to start prying up on the door panels without scratching anything, then sometimes you gotta get your hands in there and pull. Everything is cheap enough plastic it's always a gamble if something will crack.
