Anybody up for hanging out with me this weekend?

My buddy goes to school at UTI, and I'm coming down to see him, check out his school, and go to an ITR meet. Then I'm going to dyno my car at his school. I'll most likely be down there the entire weekend, so if anybody wants to hang out, that'd be cool.

do you guys know of any good, reliable aftermarket shops in the chicagoland area? I'm contemplating to get my headlights cleared as well as some other stuff and was trying to find a place to do this.

Thats right, glendale heights. so the standard, reflector removal, and blackhousing and seal. not a problem. ever removed the bumper or know how to remove the headlights? if u do it all in one day, it would probably take a good 8 hours, most of it being drying time for the paint and the sealing of the headlights. If u can remove the headlights and give them to me, i can do a overnight turn around time. standard labor and material fees apply. lol.

i've done many sets of 6th gen accords(98-02) as well as a few 90-93 and 94-97 model accords. It shouldnt be much different. The effect will be very dramatic. if u can do without your car overnight. I'm game. I work til late, so i would work on these late night.
if any of you guys are on AIM around midnight(after my work) hit me up at acuraakord97 we can discuss anything you had questions on. and i can show you pics of my work as well!

Well, to clear the headlights i would charge $50, cause re sealing them is more work than clearing them. throw in another $30 for painting.
