I bought the lamin-x film, stock halogens burnt up in less than a month, took them off and put 3000K H.I.D's way better

Do you know if when you take your strut bar off to paint it you need something to compress it to fit back in its original position? or is it fairly simple??

Thats what I'm saying, I wanna know which vendor he bought from so that he didn't have to give it a sensual massage to make it fit.

Last question I promise lol. BaysonR sold you the lip and you didnt have to work at it to make it fit? It was straight plug and play? Did you just use 3M tape? or drill holes?
