2SSRS just left my pad. Thanks again brother! I cannot wait to see how they look tonight!

Looks good. Not far behind you on this project.

Huggerorange73 · 03-12-2011, 01:50 PM

Okay, now I'm totally done....tweaked out like I want, and the doors extended.

Looks nice, very nice, Hugger. Which method did you end up using?

Thanks much

I used the no drill/no sand method.

xxIRONWILLxx · 03-12-2011, 07:55 PM

No sand?? With that much light?? Wow!!

Good work. Lightpipe for extension or no?

Thanks!

Just takes a little time to properly shim the trim panels for the best/matching light to the door panels.

And yes, I used lightpipe for the dash ABL.

I used some small clear rubber bumpers in a few spots to get a fairly clean, even gap all the way around.

It's not 100% perfect, but it's pretty darn good.

I played around with mine again yesterday. I have that same look without using any bumpers, shims or trimming, so I can't see how or why they are needed. Not to say or imply they shouldn't have been used.

Depending on where the lightpipe lies....it's needed. The passengers side center section wants to suck itself all the way in.

Exactly. It's the 2nd or 3rd insert...connector...whatever...from the left on teh passenger side that keeps "sucking itself in." It's pissing me off. I'll pick up some clear rubber style bumpers if I can find any. You don't have any pix, do you? of the bumpers? I'm going to need to put in one or two right at ...well, at two points if I want perfection...(which I obviously want!!!)
