is it glass or plastic for casing? you might beable to bake the glue so you can pull them apart and reseal them yourself..
i have learned the putting glue around the seal doesnt always work.. better off just redoing the whole glue job yourself and making sure you lay it in alittle thicker

No no, its not my lower fogs.
I think the issue is that the fog light bulb has a plastic to plastic contact with the housing of the headlight, which isnt making a proper seal and allowing a small bit of moisture to enter which then fogs when the lights heat up.
So im gonna see if i can get the bulb out and put a small amount of silicone around the contact edge. Would become a bitch to remove when time to change out the lights, but im willing to have that if my endless fog issue goes away.

like what chris said, try using window seals from home depot. some of them come in clear silicones that are also flexible.
if you guys need exhaust works done, go stop by at the exhaust specialists on canyon road. been talking to the guy over one hour about doing custom exhaust system on my tl and he quietly asks how many cats i removed from the car
he knew i had cats removed but still worked on the car.
this is what he suggested on my custom setup. this will be the quietest setup he could think of while freeing up some flow
- 2.25" piping to Y pipe and 2" after the split
- 22" magnaflow resonator
- 11" magnaflow oval resonator
- two 14" 1(in) to 2(out) magnaflow performance muffler
- quad tips
all of the resonators and mufflers will be straight flow design and cost including piping will be approx $900.

I heard the Js hood doesnt line up all the way.. and i were to spend 900 i might as well spend a few more and get a spoon..
i think im gonna settle for a fiber images hood.. ultra strong.. really lightweight and is cheaper then those. I am just worried about the clear coat wearing later.. might just have it re-clearcoated again before puting it on
the good car gifts cost more cause they come with more braggin rights.. didnt you know this? 20K turbo kit and you are gonna be the shiznit.. or a real dumbass haha
and amazing friends dont always deserve big gifts.. they just are eatin you up for the money or gift.. (buyer beware)

I uploaded them through the Gallery section, so i dont know if that will update the thumbnails on the site.
I may be wrong but doesnt the thumbnails come from your Flickr for JDMLove? The pics i uploaded went to the "JDMLove Flickr Group" pool.
http://www.flickr.com/groups/jdmlove/
Threw in a bunch of pics i have of shoots with Min's TL, and Chris's TSX. We'll see how it goes updating.
