Inch and a half I think... but it should be like a half hours labor... Exhaust shops up there charge over $60 an hour? I cut off the old ones, and cut down the new ones to the length I wanted... then just had them place them and weld the tips on...

If the OEM is 1-1/2" then the clamp wont work for the 2-1/2" tip.
Thanks for the info.

Yeah it took prolly 30-40 test shots moving the lighting so I didn't have any reflections (hot spots) on the car... and yeah I agree a larger puddle would of been great... We had left a model shoot in a warehouse that was like 120 degrees inside and just to hot... so we decided to shoot the car since all the equipment was in the trunk... and yeah the tips add a lot, the wifey wanted to keep it quiet or we'd be rockin one of your ATLP systems...

Dang 10 months with no posts... guess I need to drop in and say hey... New pics coming soon... I've got a spot I need to go shoot the TL... if it ever gets back from the dealer, they've had it for over 2 weeks now trying to get a new trans approved... Dropped it off a few days before the warranty was up... Still waiting...

Thanks, It's actually For Sale these days fully outfitted... The Wife is wanting a new car leaning towards a GS-F I think... Update on the Trans situation, they replaced it due to a good friend calling in a favor they put in a total new trans and she's been good ever since... Only has 59k miles btw...

Yeah I had taken the bumper off her 3G to replace a ballast. So I kinda knew what to expect... But yeah I have to admit before I went to yanking on the tabs I had to consult the phish to verify it was only pull tabs and I hadn't missed a bolt...
Most deffinatly... I was putting them on a 2012 Silverado with a FabTek Lift and 35's on 22's.
Thanks for covering that one Hogan...
So I test fit the front and rear lip kit while I was playing with the grille yesterday... Nothing fits as well as OEM parts... was kinda impressed how well they line up... and who ever invented the little zip tie mount things those are kinda sweet never seen those done before... Gotta hold off on installing the lip kit till we get a small spot on the bumper fixed that the guy that detailed it at the stealership screwed up when he was blowing it off with an air hose... There was a small spider crack in the paint which wasn't a big deal but he was blowing the water off with an air hose being lazy and not drying it with a chamios and blew some paint off the bumper... so first of the year it's going back to get the bumper touched up (They are paying for it) then I can put the lip kit on... But sooner than that the other two mystery boxes will be going on it...
Okay Drilled the first two holes in the 4G today, Measure twice drill the pilot hole once then step up 4 bits till it's the right size... Step one was to pull the inner carpet cover off the trunk lid. Pulled a couple of push pics and the two rubber strips and folded it down.
Step two was to test fit the spiler and get it centered with the templates taped over the recessed nuts in the underside of it once I got it centered I taped the templates to the trunk and removed the spoiler. now it's time to Center Punch and Drill...
Drilled a small piolet hole then slowly stepped up a size or two at a time till I had the correct size for the bolts... Then Cleaned with Rubbing Alcohol and a Paper Towel to get the surface clean...
Peeled back the 5 strips of 3m 2 sided tape just enough to where the folded out from the edges of the underside. Placed spoiler on and started the two screws to line it up then pulled the rest of the red 3m tape cover off and stuck the spoiler and tightened the two screws and done deal... Then put the inner carpet panel back on and closed the trunk...
One more small box to go before the lip kit, this one isn't so much for looks as it is for the fact her work parking lot is totally insane and the parking spots are too small and there's close to 6000 employees so parking in BFE doesn't even keep your doors safe...

Wow it's been a minute... bring it back to the top... Parting the car out... for anyone in the Southeast... if you drive your GriGio 4th Gen to me in North FL... i'll take your Mint condition Grigio Bumpers and Side Skirts and $500 cash and give you the Full A-Spec Lip Kit and Side Skirts... and my bumpers they are mounted to... I'll do all the labor...
