Post by: Saurdaukar on April 15, 2004, 12:47:52 PM: The trick is to put the headlight assembly into an oven at about 210 (F) for a few minutes to melt the glue that usually holds on the plastic - then you can pry out the lense and use some sort of solvant to remove the yellow.

Theres your automotive tip for the day. ;)

Have you seen the prices they charge for a clear peice of plastic?

Or even worse, a new HID assembly?

Financial date rape.

Post by: lazs2 on April 15, 2004, 05:16:04 PM: I believe that "double sided tape" is allready starting to lift around the edges.... Might make for an interesting high speed moment.

another amazing accessory is the fake clutch pedal.. It gives you that standard transmission "performance" look without the fuss and strain of actually shifting or... even learning how to.

Post by: lazs2 on April 15, 2004, 05:19:46 PM: while on the subject tho... there are a couple of worthwhile "fakes"

one is a three two barrel setup that is really a fuel injection system.. the injectors are at the base of the "carbs" and the butterflys work as normal. It is all computer controlled... the other is simply a conversion frim the old mechanical Hillborn type badass looking fuel injectors to modern electric and computer controled guts.
