We havn't used Imperial since 1977, we're on the metric system... we buy fuel at the gas station by the litre and the 94 I run in my GTP is costing what would be around $5.60- 5.80 a U.S. gallon.

FML

yea i did... i got out my driver side and looked at it and just did a quick look at my passenger and no joke i was setting it in the oven and i was like wtf. after taking a walk and settling down I'm just gunna return it. it sucks i gotta throw some more cash at this for return shipping but i guess it sucks to suck. and yea i made a return message to lights and bulbs or whatever they are called and hopefully i can just send one in because i already tore apart my driver side.

alright. when i didn't see anyplace to insert a picture though...

had very high hopes for this weekend and this is about how far I'm going to get haha

The script is awful sharp for a stamping, looks like a casting from here which would mean aluminum. Steel has to be protected immediately after blasting and cleaning if not also sanding.

Before anybody goes technical on that (I could help you with the OE color but yeah I would use engine paint or something, just silver).

My primary input for you, and mine is not often popular in the wheels department, is why do you want to put those on something that already has torque stars? I don't understand. I don't like them, don't spend another minute on them is my advice. Lets see the Torque Stars again if I missed a pic of problems with them. I'm currently spiffing some of those up one by one for mine.

The Pregens are cast aluminum, I just finished stripping a set worse than those this week...aircraft paint stripper/wire brush/wheel and a bit of time got them back to bare aluminum minus the corrosion/paint, going to prime them tomorrow.
I love my torque stars too but opted to see how the pregens look on the car aswell...benefiets for some would have to be their more aggresive look due to the offset they have not to mention they're a 1/2" wider than the torque stars.
I have some 245/50/16 Nitto drag radials and they are reccomended to be mounted on a wheel not less than 7" wide, so between that and their offset along with their light weight it was pretty much a no brainer going with the pregens for me.

how long did you cook that at what temp. From here it looks cleaner than mine did.
How is the goo on the lens?
Try calling Amazon 1 (888) 280-3321

i baked them at 220 for like 20 minutes. flipping with like five minutes left to get the bottom glue. and nah i didn't get anything on the lenses. it was pretty clean. and if they don't get back with me in the next couple days i will call amazon

alright i will give them a call. hopefully it will arrive soon. oh sorry i miss understood. and yea most of it is on the lense. there is still some on the bezel its self but not very much.

My impatient self started tugging before twenty probably 15, what a pain.
Good job on the lens removal.
Your off to a good start, don't let that shipping snafu throw you. Get it right the first time.
Crap just yesterday I tweaked my passenger headlight, didn't even take it all the way out. The final set and wanted to show my son the height difference.
I was careful all during the set-up and final install.
I am telling him to check it out and they wouldn't come on.
Popped fuse, turned out to be a toast ballast. WARRANTY.
Had to 2 day some D2S to amp adapters from Amazon so I can use my 55 watt DDM until I get the Morimoto.
