Wheel wells?

Ok so i have had a huge issue with my wheel wells on my 2006 TL. over the years they have torn up due to neglect by myself after taking the bumper off several times! So i bought some aftermarket wheel wells on eBay and this was shortly after i installed my A-spec lip kit! Well now, the holes in the wheel well do not line up and they have also been eaten up by the tires because i cannot properly clip them. Now the passanger side looks really cheezy since the wheel well is gone. So should i invest in OEM wheel wells? or are they not lining up now because of the A-spec lip kit requiring more screws on corner of wheel well? hope some one can answer this!

if I couldnt get a wheel well to line up properly.....since its plastic, i'd drill and make new holes so that it does line up.

if something doesnt line up; something ISNT straight....might that be the aftermarket wheel well OR the front bumper is installed wrong.
Simply we cannot tell you over the internet...
it has to be physically seen and inspected so that an assesment can be made....

Your Aspec lip kit has nothing to do with it. Most aftermarket will not line up. Just buy OEM (IIRC $40 a piece) and make sure you insert all the clips or buy another cheap aftermarket and do what justnspace suggested; create your own hole(s).
Stop being lazy

Yes I am known to be lazy.ok well anywhoif I could just figure out why my battery is draining overnight after having a full charge two nights before one thing I can say is that my AC compressor is not getting power when I turn on the AC but when I connect it directly to the battery the AC gets cold

I'm thinking there is a short near my AC compressor. But where do I begin.... I'm no electrician.

HFL (hands free link module) is usually what causes the drain.

again, without inspecting the car....we can only guess.....

HFL is usually the culprit of a battery drain.
a/c problem - sounds like a blower motor or low refridgerant

He drove off from the scene, try to stop in the emergency lane up ahead, then tried to hit me again. I waited for a few minutes. Got out inspect the car fearing the worse. Wasn't as bad as I thought. Said fuck this shit and chase him down. I knew he had to stop somewhere to fix his blown out tire (after the impact fool bounce off to the emergency lane and pop). Found him at a gas station, cops got there and book him.

Sorry OP didn't mean to derail your thread.

Also, is your battery holding charge? How old is it?

help!!

no it is not holding a charge. a couple months ago i had a fuse that kept buzzing everytime i would touch it under the hood. The fuse controlled my side markers, taillights, head lights. nothing happened then. But recently i installed a Jpipe ATLP and pre cat deletes. as soon as i set the car down from completing installation, my AC WAS not blowing cold. So i figured out that the A/C compressor was not receiving power so i directly connected it to the battery. a couple days later boom... car completely dead. so i recharge it over night. thinking it was the compressor power wire that i connected to the battery, i disconnect it. and now this morning,,, DEAD AGAIN.....ARGGHHH DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.

something is drainging the power because i disconnected the power while the car was running a bit ago and it stayed on. Stating that the alternator is powering the motor.

so this is where im at!!
