After getting mine done, I just realized how great a mod this is and do not understand why I waited for a long time. Kudos for the DIY. Any plans to put halos while you have it open?

It was tough bringing myself to shove them in the oven! But, it was actually easy. I let them cook for 13 minutes at 250 degrees and the silicone was almost like butter lol. They came right apart with the help of a screwdriver. Im just nervous because I am not an artistic man so this paint job may not be great hhahaha.

And no halos for me, ive been thinking about if I was going to do that or not and decided I just want to go with the blackout look

One time, one of my wives came home (I think it was number 2) and she saw a big covered pot on the stove. She says "Yummy, you made dinner, what is it?".

"SU carburetor parts" I said.

I once assembled a 240Z engine in my kitchen when Wife #1 was on a business trip. The lighting was better there.
