Its a normal size oven, I can remove the trays, and only leave one in there, and it looks like you'll be able to get a set in there.

The only thing left for me to decide is the color. Trying to decide whether to do it the standard black or try doing it in the gun metal color I'm gonna paint my wheels. I think it would be a good idea for me to have my wheels painted before doing this to get an idea of how they will look.

Khoi and the Nissan mechanic will be the ones guiding this process along, I think we should get an idea of the teams we're gonna be working with, whos going to be doing what?

this sounds like a cluster **** and a half

Seems like most of the time will be spent pulling the lights apart. I can help take the bumpers off since I've done it before.

I can assure you two sets of hands will be needed to easily pull the headlights apart. 1 person literally pulling it apart, other person prying at a corner with a couple flat head, once there's leverage the thing comes apart like an oreo

I can assist with this, masking, painting, headlight assembling. which should be the bulk of the difficult parts

oh, oven mitts or mechanic thermal gloves are necessary! You WILL get adhesive on them and they will get ruined lol. The lights as well as the adhesive residue will be HOTTTTT

eastwest2300 · 08-09-2012, 02:28 PM

So that right there is a 3 man team.. The Nissan mechanic can guide the process of removing and reinstalling the bumper... the head lights, we can use tape & a sharpee to mark whos headlights are whos and the color of paint wanted to be applied.

We will have to buy new silicone sealant, correct?
