With my back problems I have been having I need to look more into trading as an income vs a hobby. I just want to be able to make close to what I do now without much effort. I do ok as a hobby but don't know if I want the stress of using it as our main income.

Feel free to contact me anytime if you have questions. I'm actually an institutional trader. Meaning, I execute large trades on behalf of customers in our mutual funds. I still trade for my own account on the side, but under some pretty strict limitations. My retirement plan is to coach athletes and trade my own account. I've set up my own trading models and am ready to go. To be honest, if I lost my job tomorrow I wouldn't look for another. I'd just make my own living. But it's a nice security blanket getting a paycheck/bonus and benefits. Plus, it's really nice to be around a lot of other smart people to learn from!

MAn I had my bumper off yesterday and as soon as I looked at the headlights, I instantly thought of you
I didn't have the guts to do them over again
Maybe once I finish my side skirts, I will attempt to make my headlight's look as good as yours
Great job brother

thanks! I'm not going to say it was real easy. You have to cut the outer lip of the diffuser to bring down the gap because the mating surfaces are staggered. I still left a slight gap in my, but it's hard to tell. After you cut the hard part is block sanding it straight so the mating surfaces are even. I was lucky I had some body work experience passed down from my dad for that!

edit* forgot about your bubbling question. I tinted the lens but it didn't turn out very good. It was difficult for the painter to get an even coat on curved surface. So I took the tint off. Ultimately, I decided I don't drive the car that much so it's not sitting in the sun every day. I think using the high quality automotive paint was enough. If it bubbles, I'll take them apart again and re-tint those lenses. Then wetsand them till everything is even. I think they'll be ok though
