Thanks man!! Its not PERFECT by any means but I am impressed on how good of a job we did on the headlights. Incase you cared this Is what we did:
We first fit the bumper on as is with the 1" to 1 1/2" gaps showing. Then we cut strips of plyable plastic from the cover of a Duotang and trimmed and fitted them over the gaps. Taped them inplace then removed the bumper. Chopped up a bunch of fiberglass strips and started laying it on the inside wherever the plastic was sticking out farther. Let dried and trimmed and sanded....and sanded.....and sanded....then I think we had lunch...then sanded and filled.....and sanded and filled, you get the idea.
So far (knocks on wood) no cracks on any of the areas I was warned about!
If there was 1 regret it would be to have remembered to tape up the fenders mad.gif We forgot the fist time we test fitted and while workin on one side the other side was sliding and jiggeling up and down scratching the f*** out of my fenders.
Very nice sir !
Not many of us Tib drivers have got fogs in there, but that was probably the best decision I ever made. Mine are fantastic there, I seldom even have to use my high beams anymore because they light up really well smile.gif
My car isnt perfect either. I had a few problems matching the original white when doing the base repairs under the flake and at certain angles you can see it.. Mind you one thing I have learnt with doing all this is you get out what you put in, and you're not going to get much unless you're prepared to work hard at it.
But you've done a really nice job there, and I love the overall color scheme and look smile.gif Alwyas nice to see someone actually customise their own car and not leave it to a bodyshop or someone else smile.gif
