Yeah, I will probably bring them down with me for Christmas break, but I don't know exactly what our travels plans are yet, so that will govern if I bring them.

Damn you Derek! I got a call from TRS, they are out of Gatling Gun shrouds!! Dunno what I'm going to do. My headlights should be in today

Dremels w/ 80-pieces are about $20-$30 at Harbor Freight

They were so crappy!!!!! I honestly do not even miss them....I just wish they were a better quality and fit better. Fitment being the main crappy issue.

yeah, I did.

I just didn't want to mess with the possibility of the halos going out, then having to completely dismantle everything to get to them...

Well it's been over a month, and I really don't have an update. :o

Although, it seems I may have to order a new set of headlights, pending the turnout of my lens restoration. I may have gotten a little over zealous with one of them, and now it seems to be really cloudy with scratches.

Depending on how they look tomorrow once the clear coat dries, I may have to put the project on hold until I can get new headlights. FML

I hope not. I may just order a new set of headlights to have some fresh ones to start with.

my upper pad is still sitting under my couch. i just need a hand to take the front bumper off in order to swap it out.

the valance will get paint black come spring break once it gets warmer.

Get a 13/16" with a 3/4" drive and loosen the four big **** bolts holding the brackets to the frame. Let the bumper slide down as far as it will go and you can slide the upper pad on. Push it back up, tighten down, and you're good to go! I didn't even bother with those annoying clips. My bumper is pushed up so high the pad is touching the grille.

I was considering these options. I may do it tomorrow when I take out my HIDs. I'm going back to SS Ultras until the projectors are done. it will be a heck of a lot more noticeable.
