I recommend jacking up the front of the car, and removing the front wheels and wheel well lining. It will make the job a lot easier and faster.

I'm gonna follow the DIY on here. I do wish I had jacks though to get the front up but I don't. I'm gonna take the front off today and get in the headlights so when the halos come in tomorrow I can just right to them.

I didn't jack up mine when I pulled the front end off. I had issues converting to RS headlights so I literally had the front end off 5 times. Did it myself and just turned the steering wheel to one side when I was undoing the screws on that side. I left the wheel well liner in too. There's one of those plastic plugs at the top that if you take that out, it'll give you enough room to pull it out and reach up in there. There's only one bad bolt and it's the top one of the three vertical ones that are on each side. Once you get that one, there's nothing to it. Good luck!

This thread is not delivering the goods here.

When? Is the next meetup?

Where? Is it going to be held?

Who? Is going to Cruzin OC here in a couple weeks? I know I am going and I'll be at the Maryland Speed meetup at Hooters.

Who? Is going to the Riverfront show in next month? I'm going this year I've decided to not go to the Nascar race.

Okay Jeff, first you have to show up when I schedule a meetup.......BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

The May meetup will probably be replaced by the cruise at OC...... the 19th is the only time I might be able to squeeze something in, but ocean city is just too far away. Obviously, can't make the Riverfront show....... maybe I can see about the weekend in the middle of June. I leave on vacation after that.
Brian at Firestone is still planning on having a show there for us....right now it will either be in Aug or Sept. There is also the South Jersey show and the Wheels and Wine show just south of Dover that take place around that time (aug/sept) plus the 2nd Dover race in late sept.

If someone else wants to put something together earlier......by all means go ahead I won't be offended if it happens when I am working.....my schedule is pretty tight for the next few months and I feel bad about the lack of dates available to me to get all of us together.

Well today probably went as bad as it could have. Took the front bumper off, headlights out, baked, and opened. Everything ready for the halos. The halos get here and I instantly notice one of the wires isn't attached to the halo. It must have ripped off somewhere along the line (the wires were tightly wrapped around the halo when it was shipped). So I figure ok I'll just solder it back on. Nope, go to solder it and there was nothing to solder the wire to. The little bit they had must've fallen off when the wire got seperated.

Long story short, I'm stuck with one working halo, and a front end taken apart. I wrote them a nasty email, hopefully they do something about this (meaning send a new halo overnight would be nice) so I can get my car back together. Until then, I guess I'm keeping the cover on the car and riding my bicycle to work.

Along with that, I tried plasti-dip for the first time. The finish was good and everything, but when I went to remove the tape, the paint just stuck to the tape and peeled up in most the spots. I don't know what I did wrong. I pulled the tape up before the last coat dried like everybody says to do. I'll post pictures of how bad it is tomorrow when I'm a little less frustrated.
