Headlight modification?

Jacks we'll need for the lowered cars, but we shouldn't need any jack stands.

If no one has yanked a bumper off yet I might be able to swing by depending on the day and lend a hand. Had mine off when I installed the cooler.
I've taken mine off a couple times, so we should be ok. Feel free to stop by anyway though

Sounds good blades. Was trying to catch up and didn't see if there was someone that has done it before.

Just an idea with all the bumpers coming off. Might want to pick up a couple of extra button clips. I would be really surpised if 10 bumpers came off and not one clip gets broken.

Bumper clips? where do you get those at? I've never taken off the bumper.

I'd be more concerned about losing them. I've never broken any, but I have lost a couple

Haven't lost/broke any yet but am missing 2 10mm screws that secure the undershroud.

Actually, you can get them on eBay, I've seen them on there.

I just ordered 40 of those clips, I'd rather have more than enough, than not enough.

how big is your oven?! typical residential ovens will probably only fit 1 headlight. but i might be wrong!

opening headlights is very time consuming. factor in the time wasted for it to bake, take apart all the stuff inside the headlight, mask whatever off, paint (at least 2-3 coats) assuming you wait 15-20 min each coat, all this multiplied by the number of headlights.

On a fast pace, if we were to work on 1 car at a time, it would take a solid 3-4 hours from beginning to end. but with multiple cars in the mix we can make this work out very efficiently
