Questions

My windshield metal trim on the drivers side popped out. I pulled on it a little to see if the car was stable on the jack stands and it just pulled out. hehe anyways i try to pop it back it, but i broke the clips. I got new ones, but does anyone know how much it should be to have someone install it?


Also I will be going on a trip to Mammoth this weekend, should i blue tape the front of my car? or it wont do shit to help my paint

thanks!


I am getting some new things on the car soon. Will post up in the next few weeks.

Also those who are interested in taillight, headlight and turn signal tint add me to friends list and i will send out info on it, as well as post pictures once the prototyping is done by the company.

If you're trying to prevent damage there is no such thing as looking like a dumb ass.


Also, what is the "prototyped" tint you're talking about.

since there is no more rockblocker, this is another company that taking its place.

he took the measurements last weekend for headlight, taillight, and turn signal tints. will post pictures once i get them installed. plus a roof overlay

he is going to post here once all the "prototyping" meaning fitment and options.

ryan (zeroCL) blue taped the front of his car when he took it to tampa, and i dont even think he drove it down...also, didnt dragon blue tape his car?

id suggest blue taping it. my sister's front bumper is ruined because of all the highway driving she does, the bugs and other shit have gone through the paint.

yeah you should do that. to prevent any unwanted chips on fast speeds.

Maybe you should see about that 3M film that they have that is transparent. Im going that way when i have the fresh paint.

He did blue tape it, and drove half way there, to Virginia, then took the train the rest of the way

Clear bra is a great option, I have thought about getting one after a paint job, but blue painters tape works wonders

oh man i got pulled over in Lone Pine! CHP was staring at me and i was thinking..."oh he is going to pull me over" sure enough i see him pull behind me. he said i was speeding. Its a 25mph zone though the small town, just getting though a 55mph zone right before that. my radar detector didnt go off, but i didnt ask him to see it because i had a feeling he wasnt going to write me a ticket.


he just let me go...saying....slow down though the towns...i was like "yes sir"

it still amazes me why people get pulled over for speeding in areas where a fast road becomes a slow road. cops willingly sit there and tag people who think it's a joke and they're gonna breeze through. but congrats on not getting a ticket.

yup, just bulbs bro. a lil hard to reach in and install...you don't really need to take out the bumper cover to do it. but its a really tight fit when you try to get it.

You should try installing corners in my headlights with the TSX projo's in the way, that's a tight fit, had to take the bumper off last time just to put corner bulbs in
