IIRC I can just leave them already clipped on in the header panel before I put the header panel in. I did this with my projectors to get a better look of where to cut and I'm pretty sure we mounted the headlights on the panel before putting the whole panel in.

Sex. Still gotta wait till dark to aim them/check the output.

sleepyalero · 09-22-2012, 03:11 PM

does your bumper need a little repaint there in front of the driver headlight?

Yeah. There where many scuffs near the underside of the side skirts/front bumper plus the bleached mirrors/front bumper when I got the car.

The Scuffs on the underside of the side skirts makes me wonder wtf they drove over. I'm lowered and I don't scratch my damn front bumper/side skirts on anything

. I come VERY close on my front bumper going out of my driveway, only thing that actually scrapes is the air dam.

Went to go aim them and holy sht they where aimed low. Went to aim them up and noticed when I got close to where I needed to be there was a gap between the bumper and the rubber from the headlight which is what I DO NOT want because it looks all googly eyed when you look at the front of the car.

Any way to aim them well without having that gap? I pretty much want it to be flush all the way around if thats possible.

Looks great. Don't feel too bad, my front bumper looks like a bag of sh!t.

9gag and 4chan are websites. They're simplified versions of forums like we use here. 4chan has been around the longest, I still go there. Just about every topic is discussed in the many sub forums. 9gag is just cancerous, unfunny newfag crap.

I guess I'm old(ish). 9gag sounds more like a sex move to me. I'd already bailed on my bachelor's program and had moved cross-country to pursue a tech-school associates when this 4chan thing apparently launched. While y'all were 4chan'ing, I was busy drinking Keystone and busting knuckles in a Denver Pic-a-Part. Good times; I remember driving a $300 '75 Volvo wagon around after I scattered my Chevy stroker... Best beater ever - we used to get baked and wind it out on the dirt roads off Happy Jack Road east of Laramie. It hauled a lot of parts, but certainly never hauled any ass...

Lol, someone edited out that scratched up front bumper.

That's the last modification that I'm doing for it, basically. The projectors themselves need to be tweaked because I hate how it bows downward on the sides. But that's basically how my car currently sits. :P

I'm well aware, I misjudged how wide I was expecting them to be, and got the vinyl cut too narrow. I plan on buying wider vinyl strips soon, and outline the stripes with black pinstripes.

I cropped the picture to hide the front bumper :P That was a major eye sore for me.

As for the projectors, isn't that how they are supposed to be?

caraudiodave · 09-30-2012, 11:10 AM

I cant believe that fender stripes are still being used. IMO that is the ugliest fad to stick.
