I say we just pick another Saturday to do the second day.

dmhenderson 08-14-2012 10:47 AM
That's a good idea let's just do two consecutive saturdays - that work for everyone?

15th and the 22nd?

Why not? I'm not trying to spend an entire weekend stuck at your house. Trollolololol :stirthepot: :roflpuke2:

Ravens vs Eagles and Saints vs Panthers at 1 PM on that Sunday. I'd like to watch at least one of those games instead of trying to pull my headlights apart. :p

Remember guys, he said the same thing when he got his first pair of wheels while planning on getting his tires. Fast forward a year later and look at his wheel/tire situation now.

And that my friends is how you properly troll someone. Not just typing out "trollolololol" ;)

b1adesofcha0s 08-14-2012 02:35 PM
I can just see it now. EW spending all day at BWW while everyone gets their mods actually done. Then he'll just be left with a can of spray paint sitting in his garage collecting dust for months. :roflpuke2:

eastwest2300 08-14-2012 03:12 PM
fvck you guys!!! fvckers!!

dmhenderson 08-14-2012 03:15 PM
Talked to the service manager guy today and he said I "should be able to use the heat gun". Thinking it's not a big deal so I should be able to bring it for both weekends. If it doesn't work out at the last minute, I'll just swing by home depot and buy one.

Do I need anything else to make this happen other than what we have planned?

(not counting the LEDs of course)

We should have everything we need as long as people bring everything that they said they were gonna bring. We should be good to go. That heat gun is gonna make life sooo much easier.:tup:

dmhenderson 08-14-2012 10:42 PM
Invited people from the MD Z club to attend this by the way but not to participate in the actual mod (at least on day 1).

Yeah I was amazed at how quickly it zapped my front emblem off on my '09. You have to be super careful though. It will melt paint/plastic/your face if you aren't good with it.

eastwest2300 08-14-2012 11:28 PM
Using a heat gun, Its just like shrinking window tint prior to you actually laying the tint on the window. You use 2 to 3 second bursts of heat, then you pull away. If you go any longer than that, you can burn/mess up sh1t.

Sales@AAMComp 08-15-2012 08:25 AM
that picture is the exact reason why I bought rims lol sunken in stockies on the legacy ugh :(

I really don't see the need for a heat gun for this mod. Seems like the 2 methods of doing this mod are either by heat gun or oven, not both. I think we should be fine with just using the oven.

Yes, it's small. I'm by far the youngest member. They're more into classics than the newer cars. Modding is not something they'd be interested in.

Isn't a heat gun quicker/safer? Our Service guy doesn't want to give it to me for 2 weekends in a row but I can buy one for like $15.00 so it's not a big deal. I'd be willing to invest in a heat gun - I'm sure I'll need it again in the future.

Actually the opposite. The oven method is much quicker and safer for the headlights. The oven allows you to heat the whole headlight at once vs doing it one small spot at a time. Also you can control the temperature better and are less likely to spot burn or melt the lens.

Hey guys I am going to retract my name from the "work" list. I will still come down to help out and stuff but I am going to do mine up here in PA. So that makes a new open spot for one of the otherss that were unable to sign up in time.

b1adesofcha0s 08-15-2012 10:08 AM
So who's actually getting this done on the first day? I'd rather wait till the 2nd day since I'd like to see how they turn out first. I'm still not 100% on doing this mod, I really just want to get the fly out of my headlight.

dmhenderson 08-15-2012 10:15 AM
Alright. I won't bother with the gun then.

RandyD 08-15-2012 10:16 AM
lol... wonder how he got in there..

Masa 08-15-2012 10:17 AM
Trolling like a BAWS in the housing.

dmhenderson 08-15-2012 10:17 AM
I'll go on day 1 but the Nissan mechanic has to be there.

b1adesofcha0s 08-15-2012 10:17 AM
Had to have gotten in from the back part of the headlight. Dealership says they can't do anything about it. I either leave it there or buy a new headlight for $1k...... yeah fvck that!

dmhenderson 08-15-2012 10:18 AM
Also because I live fairly close, I can hang out and help with other cars on both days.

There's a service manager laughing his *** off somewhere. I would go to another dealership and get a 2nd opinion because that's horsecrap.
