Biggest tip i can give anyone don't leave it in longer than 3-4mins. I tired this before they said leave in for 8mins my headlamp clips melted. Just mo hope u guys like. I haven't posted pics with it on my car yet cause i don't have my bumper on but once i do i will post them. I am interested in getting led turn signals for the front. Any suggestions?

I am having work done on my front end It has to do with my bumper mount so my car is currently bumperless til next Friday so I don't want to post pic. But if u really want to see I will post em. Before and after.




The car in a crash 3yrs ago my moms ex did the body work come to find out the bumper was taped into the fenders. I was pretty mad since it was a crap job. I always wondered why my headlights aimed down even after I aimed them up. Cause no bumper bar so the beam that is suppose to hold the headlights was holding all the weight from the bumper to. I ordered the bumper bar and absorber and have a shop that is across from my job going to cut and weld a new mount so I can place the new bumper bar. Charge is $100 since they buy parts from us all the time. Is that a good price?
