I received my Euro Tails and Clear Corners in the mail today but the weather hear in Hamilton is bad today. It has been pretty nice the last week but of course when I get something in the mail to be installed, we get a friggin snow storm. sad.gif

Thats God's way of saying don't install ricey taillights.

Just playing. I don't like Altezzas \ Euros. But the anticipation of the install will make for more enjoyment afterwards.

haha.gif Some like, some don't. Everybody has their style. It cleared up nicely late last night so I installed the clear corners. I love them, make the car look alot cleaner. I was so anxious to get them on that I froze my butt off doing it last night instead of waiting for a nice warmer day. I will save the tails for another time though.

Well, the tails are very easy to do, just go out during the day today and get em done. Takes about 10 minutes tops.

Yeah baby, holla. LOL

Anyway, yeah, don't worry, we have more of that crummey weather coming our way I'm sure. I've hated this winter with a passion.

Your installs are way too easy to be using the weather as an excuse though. Get to be workin' already!!!

As REDZ said 20 mins tops.

News says a snow storm or hail today, this winter is very unpredictable. I got my tails off ebay (bad idea) and the mount bolts don't line up perfectly, they are like a fraction of a cm off so I have to drill the holes out to get them on and I can't find any drill bits in my house. Thats why I haven't gotten back around to installing them. This was the first piece I bought off ebay for the car and probably the last. I purchased a CAI for my old car a year or 2 back and had to modify that as well so I guess it is a lesson learned.
