Easy to take off if necessary also.
You can't put film over fogs because projector lens

Not with that attitude you can't.

Just cut a circle a little bigger than the projector and then mash it on like saran wrap.

Never stop not giving up!

I did, Kam...I bought the intake and valentine one mount from JB.
I was in touch with the guy selling LED's on the FB page but I wasn't certain I wanted to pay him $75 fogs or DRL bulbs (each set) and then another $75 for interior bulbs.
Honestly, I kinda like the dull yellowish glow of the oem bulbs INSIDE the car...kinda puts me in the mood

I do love the way your V sits...

Have you noticed any squeaks or creaks since you lowered it? ​Since you cut the stock springs I doubt it, but I was wondering.

LOL...with all the joking, I can how it got confusing!
I didn't cut the stock springs, I cut the 5" off the front of the eibach coupe springs, rears were untouched.

Thanks, man!

Still looking good man. I need to find the right box to ship your stuff out and then find out how much shipping will be. Your close to having your next mod though.
