Anyone ever have that oh sh*t moment?

When modding your car past the point of no return, or etc....have you ever messed up the mod you were doing?

I just don't want to be the only one lol

Anybody?

[lscamaro]

Yea haha all the time. Especially when I removed the intake manifold

I don't have as much experience doing installs as I would like, so my Firebird is where I intend to learn. Whenever I do something, which so far hasn't been often, I have someone with me to help avoid moments where I totally botch the mod. It's worked out well so far.

Of course then I run the bathroom really fast

Yep,I think all of us at some point have been there bud! I dropped a nut on the tail lights while I was installing the afterburners! I was hoping it fell through to the pavement,but it fell somewhere down there in never land! I just try and take my time when I'm working on the Camaro!(and take plenty of beer breaks! Lols!)

I've done that with the squeegee from tinting my tail lights! Agreed on the beer breaks

Not on mine. But I kinda do this for a living. My husbands TA was a guinea pig for me for awhile but I never really messed anything up beyond the point of no return. Had a few painting mishaps where I had to strip the piece and start over though. That was a pita.

[midnighter]

Oh...been there done that many times.

Yea when I was installing my halos. First I thought to myself "What the hell am I doing putting a $1100 headlight in the freaking oven??? Am I crazy???". After I got over that fact when I was on the kitchen floor prying the hell out of the lens with a screw driver I heard something that I thought for sure was a crack in the lens......I couldnt look. Walked out of the room, or should I say stormed out of the room, grabbed a beer, came back a few minutes later and........all was good

In the oven!? you're a braver man than I lol

Lol yea you gotta heat them in the oven to soften the sealant to get the lenses off. Its really not that bad.

[Lil' Nasty]

Oh okay, darn i already have the Rs package

[lscamaro]

Yea, so does he. He did it for the AAC halos.

I've never been at a point where I've messed something up that bad (knock on wood) but taking off the manifold I thought to myself "I better not mess up".

Yep I looked Down and I was doing 129 in a 45 :( That's when I said "O SH*&T this car has to go before I kill somebody or myself". I traded my 2010 2ss/rs for a 2012 Convertible V6.
