I plan on doing this too. The scary part will be taking of the bumper. Other than that, I see it being an easy operation following the instructions and all.

taking the bumper off is actually the easiest part of the job IMO, at least it is on my car (i have a TL). the hardest part is probably getting the lights back in

ReflexRacing - where would we meet? you need an oven to heat up the lights in, and a safe place to put the bumper while you do the work

I'm in Northridge, CA, near CSUN. I have an oven. I have a driveway for two cars and parking on the street for about an additional two to three cars. We counld place the bumpers on the back yard.

I would feel confortable keeping this down to about four cars, as I am not the owner of the home.

Let me know...

All I know is I want em cleared, whether we can do the whole oven thing or get the diffusers. However I don't trust myself installing the diffuser thing. I'm not too good at that shit :\. But yeah..

why would anyone be worried about fogging in CA? my left one fogs a bit (first one i did, didnt realize how to get it apart properly) every now and then after i wash the car or if it rains, but it clears right back up by the next day.
