Headlight modification?

Its always open trollin' for EW and his mods.

I just went out to the car to see if there was anything special about these illuminated plates. Mine came installed from the dealer but I like to rip stuff apart anyway. The heat helps but all you have to do is start with the inside floor piece, the long one in the middle and get your fingers under it. Start to pull it up and it will pop out. The heat outside helps right now. The forward piece may have to come out to locate the plug if it's not right there. Other than that plug and play, man. Apparantly my dealer went overboard and 3M taped my kick plate to the body. It's not coming out in one piece.

Sorry man, had to bust balls here. When you meet me you can kick me in the nuts for that

Are you gonna help out, or be like Blades & Masa... you know? The biggest Trolls on the Planet.

I asked him a couple times about the kick plates a long time ago, and he never got back with me.

I'll be painting my wheels gun metal tomorrow at Bobo's place. I'll let you guys know how it goes and you can see it for yourself when we do the headlights

Don't know, this trolling thing is kinda fun.

2 options I can present:

1. I don't know if I can get the time off work until next week to come out for the mod party. Still some time out but I can't commit one way or the other but have to lean to "can't make it"

2. I'm down in the sticks of MD but if you want to take a trip to billy-bob country this weekend I'm pulling my bumper off and fabbing some covers for my oil cooler this weekend. Any other tihngs like pulling the trim pieces out I am willing to do on my car to show you how it's done. Anyone else is welcome. I have blueberry 'shine and can provide a safe word.

Kick plates are super easy. The harnesses are already there, you just have to uncover them. Entire process takes 10 minutes tops. I installed them on my base so I can help you if you need it (you won't need help).

dmhenderson · 08-31-2012, 08:10 PM

Wait so do I need to buy my own butyl sealant and/or caulk gun? Please let me know if there's anything else I need before I show up because we're closing in on The Day pretty quickly.

I have the caulk gun, get on eBay and buy that tube of Butyl Rubber, I posted the link, last page, or the page before last, order it today... it ships outta Philly, I believe. Its less than $13.
