They'd better hope I'm underneath my car and I'm killed instantly someone "bumps into it"

eastwest2300 09-13-2012 01:45 PM

I hear that point of view, luckily... Im still here on this earth alive lol, I think we'll be fine... mind you, its thursday... saturday is only a couple days away.. its a little too late to try to change the venue now.

One things guys I'd tell ya, to keep in mind, it gets dark around 7.. so the later you come, the harder it'll get to putting the bumper back on..

So who's bringing the bulletproof vests? :bowrofl:

eastwest2300 09-13-2012 02:23 PM

You got the wrong idea about where I live..

MyKindaGuise 09-13-2012 02:23 PM

So do we have everything needed?

Im bringing a 10mm to take off bumpers, alcohol wipes, blue krylon. I will also throw in for lunch. Also since it gets dark around 7 and I have a 3 hour drive home I would like to be able to leave around 5ish if time permits.

eastwest2300 09-13-2012 02:24 PM

Yeah, we should have everything we need. Did you pick up your rubber butyl?

b1adesofcha0s 09-13-2012 02:30 PM

I thought MKG wasn't doing his headlights this Saturday? I'm gonna go pick up the paint/clear for my wheels after work today.

ohh brother, its too late now, we (me & DM) bought ours on eBay.. sh1t, im not sure where you could go to get it...

eastwest2300 09-13-2012 02:38 PM

I would go to a place that specializes in tubs, showers, etc.. start there. I would try to get it today if you could.

eastwest2300 09-13-2012 02:39 PM

Or find the best silicon sealant you can buy..

b1adesofcha0s 09-13-2012 02:39 PM

I think it's just EW, DM, and MKG doing the headlights. I'll be there working on my wheels and helping you guys out if you need it.

I wouldn't count on leaving by 5 pm. I'm like 85% sure it will take longer than that. The average time I saw in the DIY for this mod was between 8-12 hrs.

b1adesofcha0s 09-13-2012 02:42 PM

MKG if you can't find the sealant, don't worry about it. IT IS NOT NEEEDED to do this mod. It's more of an extra layer of security to make sure the headlights are sealed properly. You can re-use the factory sealant and many on this forum have done that successfully. If you do see condensation in there afterwards, you will have to take the lenses apart again, add the new sealant, and then reseal.

eastwest2300 09-13-2012 02:46 PM

If you wanna use rubber butyl, we might have some left over.. between me and DM.

Thanks for the info dude. Im pretty sure if I am just super careful when resealing I should be okay. My buddy here on the forum has done his 3 times this year and I think he has reused the sealant.lol I think 8 hours should be enough really. Im not going to stop working. Hopefully with the instruction and guidence from Khoi we will be in good shape :tup:

We will see how things go. If it comes to that I will certainly pay up.

dmhenderson 09-13-2012 02:50 PM

It was like $7 for the tube. You're welcome to use whatever I don't. It's a gift!

Yeah I was just going to reuse the sealant for mine too. You can probably add in a lunch break in there somewhere :p

Dude we're gonna be fine, I gotta feeling i'll be going first, so its all good. As soon as I wake up Saturday, Im gonna start pulling off the bumper. Im pretty excited.

eastwest2300 09-13-2012 02:59 PM

dmhenderson 09-13-2012 04:09 PM

Its called multitasking.. people wont be showing up until 10ish.. so that leaves me two hours.

dmhenderson 09-13-2012 08:22 PM

Haha so after 3 trips to the dealership and paying a custom audio shop to look at it, I finally solved my weird key fob issue by talking to an audio installer on this very forum.

Long story short: Do not run your XM antenna or its power cable through your center console anywhere near the master control module for the antenna system.

Not really multitasking if you're only doing one task at a time :icon17:

dmhenderson 09-13-2012 08:23 PM
