already have that black silicone permatex sealant and the clear bulbs sitting at home.

tried to do it last weekend, couldnt get the grille off and it was too cold to continue messing around with it. Im going to try it again this friday when it should be warmer, i'm off work, and the gf won't be around to freak out when i put my headlights in the oven.

i have no need for a smartphone w/ data plan. so the extra $30-50/mo whatever verizon charges wouldnt be worth it for the occasional roadtrip. I'm assuming if i put in a wireless card though i can tether off wi-fi spots like at rest stops and stuff? i should really make a thread with all my questions some day.

ok cool, thanks. just trying to figure it all out before i decide i want to start buying the parts for one.

ah so if i want undisturbed internet access i need a phone with an unlimited data plan or its gonna cost me $100000

how does the internet connection work on a carPC? i take long-distance trips (400+miles) a few times a year with the gf and curious if she could surf the internet or i could play an online comp game during the trip.

or just do 1-man stick figure + 7 cats, i'd never expect a race from a crazy cat lady/man

LED tailpipe, huge aluminum wing, mirror tinted windows. you'll be getting more teenagers revving at you than you'll know what to do with

has anyone installed this piece themselves? I'm out of warranty but would like to fix the gap.

lol, i wonder how much extra effort and time it takes to type in thug font

so i should pick up a tube of silicone just in case and make the judgement myself when their open

and how many applied new sealant when resealing them? Or is there plenty of it already on there that they'll seal back together without issues?

yes mine is very noticeable but it was just something i forced myself to just accept. I had no idea it was common until i found this thread this morning.

cool, i'll print out the first page of this thread and take it with me to my local dealership. Ive gotta go pick up my oil from there later in the week anyway, i'll just stop and ask about this problem too.

was this fixed under warranty for you guys? I'm still within the 3yr/36,000 mile factory one. If not, how much did it all cost approximately?

i think when i finally get the balls to try this i'm going to put the lamps up on maybe some wood blocks on the cookie sheet just so its not really sitting on hot metal. Even if that probably doesn't effect anything it'll give me a little more peace of mind that they might not melt.

so a chair to sit in front of the oven should be added to the list of materials

ok, staying stock then

intake resonator, i'm not planning to touch the exhaust silencer

i think i'm going to try this on the upcoming weekend. not gonna lie, this freaks me out though putting my headlights in the oven. do i put them directly on the rack or lay down some foil or something in there, i dont want "charcoal lines" on my headlights. is there any chance of the plastic melting? how closely do i need to monitor them in the oven (sit in front of it constantly watching)?

removing the resonator may create a more turbulent airflow, but is that minor change really going to effect anything on a basically stock LGT? I can see the reasoning behind wanting perfect airflow on a custom-built F1 car, but something that it's main purpose is to commute back and forth to work how bad would it really be? Am i going to lose 5-10mpg or get detonation in the engine? Am i going to lose .5sec off the 1/4mile? How damaging is it to have MAF sensor spikes, i know it's a little unsettling, but is it really doing anything bad?

hmm interesting

thanks

any update on getting those installs back?
