Headlight modification?

eastwest2300 · 08-31-2012, 02:34 PM

Hey fellas, just an update, if you need to buy that Butyl Rubber, if you go to the link that I provided on eBay, the company ships it out of Philadelphia.. so it'd only be a couple days for you to get it.

I think the truth is coming out here. This isn't a gathering at EW's house to do headlight mods, this is a "since we are waiting lets install these kick plates. Oh and I got this other stuff laying in the corner. Oh and we can knock out this GTM turbo thingy real quick"

Sorry man, had to bust balls here. When you meet me you can kick me in the nuts for that

I just went out to the car to see if there was anything special about these illuminated plates. Mine came installed from the dealer but I like to rip stuff apart anyway. The heat helps but all you have to do is start with the inside floor piece, the long one in the middle and get your fingers under it. Start to pull it up and it will pop out. The heat outside helps right now. The forward piece may have to come out to locate the plug if it's not right there. Other than that plug and play, man. Apparantly my dealer went overboard and 3M taped my kick plate to the body. It's not coming out in one piece.

Don't know, this trolling thing is kinda fun.

2 options I can present:

1. I don't know if I can get the time off work until next week to come out for the mod party. Still some time out but I can't commit one way or the other but have to lean to "can't make it"

2. I'm down in the sticks of MD but if you want to take a trip to billy-bob country this weekend I'm pulling my bumper off and fabbing some covers for my oil cooler this weekend. Any other tihngs like pulling the trim pieces out I am willing to do on my car to show you how it's done. Anyone else is welcome. I have blueberry 'shine and can provide a safe word.

I asked him a couple times about the kick plates a long time ago, and he never got back with me.

Kick plates are super easy. The harnesses are already there, you just have to uncover them. Entire process takes 10 minutes tops. I installed them on my base so I can help you if you need it (you won't need help).
