Yea I'll take it off your hands. Haha got some rock chips I could take care of.

What fun that was , untill the passenger side front corner of the quarter panel bent into an L shape.

:mad:

But I can change the bulbs out when they go bad now.

Its Dark Red . Ill check the dealership when I get out of work this afternoon.

I also ordered a 3M headlight restoration kit this morning as well , going to pop out the headlights Friday after work and make em look like glass.

I left my receipt in your car door . . I need to take that other kit back I bought yesterday.

:P

Was fun till the car got hurt , o well you live you learn !


Thanks for the help .

Heres a pic . . excuse the glare.

Took it with my phone.

As I do this one last time , would it be wise to remove the front bumper ?

Seems the headlight isnt set properly.

I threw that receipt away :picard:

They should take it back anyway tho. Hopefully they'll remember you

I'm glad you have a sense of humor about bending your fender.

I can't even understand how that happened

DaveWRX 2009-04-21 09:50 PM

Yea the headlights on the 06-07 weren't that hard to remove or place back it. I've removed a couple myself. How did that happen? Were you trying to force it?

Dewey 2009-04-22 12:09 PM

partial removal of the front bumper is required. the 06-07 lights are a giant pita.

A bit to much force was applied on my behalf.

Now I know what not to do in the future.

:oops:

Another problem would be my patience , that's something I need to work on.

This will be done next time around.

Going for round 2 this Friday.

bigrobwoot 2009-04-22 07:26 PM

Good luck. I feel like I effected the patience issue. As long as you have plenty of time to do it without rushing, it should definitely go smoother. And make sure you do it right the first time so you never have to take them out again lol. Lemme know if you wanna come grab my caulk to seal your cracks ;)

Goodluck on your next attempt. Soon I'm going to do the mod to my headlights

bigrobwoot 2009-04-22 11:31 PM

Definitely be patient. It's not a long job, but leave yourself time just in case something goes wrong. That's what we didn't do, which is why he forced it and broke shit. But clearing your lights is one of the best visual mods you can do IMO. Everytime I see a 04/05 with the amber in the lights I get disgusted, and I used to love the look of those lights. Now I just love the look of them cleared :D

ReD_oSeVeN 2009-04-23 03:51 PM

I was quoted $300 today for the repair , he said he would have to spray the whole quarter panel.

Ill update this as I get more quotes.
