Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

About $5.80 a gallon but Canada uses Imperial gallons which is 5qts and US is 4 qts to gallon

We havn't used Imperial since 1977, we're on the metric system... we buy fuel at the gas station by the litre and the 94 I run in my GTP is costing what would be around $5.60- 5.80 a U.S. gallon.
 


Did you just notice that now? I would contact amazon and let them swap it. Don't panic things happen. Retro one headlight and then just run the the stock headlight for the other.
 
yea i did... i got out my driver side and looked at it and just did a quick look at my passenger and no joke i was setting it in the oven and i was like wtf. after taking a walk and settling down I'm just gunna return it. it sucks i gotta throw some more cash at this for return shipping but i guess it sucks to suck. and yea i made a return message to lights and bulbs or whatever they are called and hopefully i can just send one in because i already tore apart my driver side.

Danielle, hey your job sounds pretty cool from here. On those wheels ... I am ignorant about the pregens but- At a glance I would have said they were aluminum. But the rim appears to be steel, so maybe the center is stamped steel too. I'd have to look at the backside to see how they are made. The script is awful sharp for a stamping, looks like a casting from here which would mean aluminum. Steel has to be protected immediately after blasting and cleaning if not also sanding.

Before anybody goes technical on that (I could help you with the OE color but yeah I would use engine paint or something, just silver).

My primary input for you, and mine is not often popular in the wheels department, is why do you want to put those on something that already has torque stars? I don't understand. I don't like them, don't spend another minute on them is my advice. Lets see the Torque Stars again if I missed a pic of problems with them. I'm currently spiffing some of those up one by one for mine.

The Pregens are cast aluminum, I just finished stripping a set worse than those this week...aircraft paint stripper/wire brush/wheel and a bit of time got them back to bare aluminum minus the corrosion/paint, going to prime them tomorrow.
I love my torque stars too but opted to see how the pregens look on the car aswell...benefiets for some would have to be their more aggresive look due to the offset they have not to mention they're a 1/2" wider than the torque stars.
I have some 245/50/16 Nitto drag radials and they are reccomended to be mounted on a wheel not less than 7" wide, so between that and their offset along with their light weight it was pretty much a no brainer going with the pregens for me.
 
how long did you cook that at what temp. From here it looks cleaner than mine did.
How is the goo on the lens?

Also on the way home from work I "followed" two guys in a park ave all the way home from the freeway, that's like 4 miles. I just noticed him pull beside me exiting the freeway, and the whole way back he turned the way I was going at every single light. It really got weird when he turned onto my sub street, then onto my main street, I thought he was gonna go right to my house or something lol. He ended up stopping to park in the street about 8 houses from mine, he probably pulled over to let me go thinking I was following him.

Also for anyone living in or near st. clair shores you may know this, there was a road rage incident yesterday on harper, both ended up on the lawn, the victim went into a fire hydrant. The passenger of the fugitive fled on foot while the guy driving fled in his car, with the airbags deployed. Apparantly a gun was pulled by them sometime in that incident and the cops were just everywhere. The guy with the gun ran right down the street I was on, and I didn't even know it. I was deep into the 3800 head gasket job and the radio was on. I did hear a crash sound over the music, but assumed it was the truck loading stuff up across the street but it was right at the time I was told it happened. Even today, the cops were everywhere. Looking through people's front yards in bushes looking for the gun that may have been thrown. I took a car for a test drive and the thing kept stalling and wouldn't go over 5 mph at one point which sucked, the cops are looking at me as I'm putting it in neutral and starting it every 4 houses lol.

$hit dude I would call them right the hell now.
Years ago I ordered a K&N oil filter and got the wrong one. They said keep it and we will send you another.

What I meant was kinda like were is all the glue? Did you clean it up.
the channel looks all empty so did it stick to the lense.
 
alright i will give them a call. hopefully it will arrive soon. oh sorry i miss understood. and yea most of it is on the lense. there is still some on the bezel its self but not very much.
 
My impatient self started tugging before twenty probably 15, what a pain.
Good job on the lens removal.
Your off to a good start, don't let that shipping snafu throw you. Get it right the first time.
Crap just yesterday I tweaked my passenger headlight, didn't even take it all the way out. The final set and wanted to show my son the height difference.
I was careful all during the set-up and final install.
I am telling him to check it out and they wouldn't come on.
Popped fuse, turned out to be a toast ballast. WARRANTY.
Had to 2 day some D2S to amp adapters from Amazon so I can use my 55 watt DDM until I get the Morimoto.

I tell you what I told spazz. Before you attach them permanently do the wall test and then drive around with them and make sure your happy with where they are at and the alignment.
 
yes deffinatley. i have been researching how to do this for a couple months now and i really want to nail them the first time. just kinda confused on how to mount them with the jb wield and silicone but i will make a thread for that so i don't annoy everyone haha
