had to drill holes on the underside of hood because cf hood has no holes on the underside for the hooks latch in to---- i didnt take a pic but it was litterally just drilling 2 small holes...
and when installing this you sort of have to pry back the plastic fender a lil bit to slide
the tab under---- anyways when prying back i broke corner light....
betterish
i think i will smoke these- that is until the clear ones i ordered arrive....
so i went to lower my car when i was like "hey i will do that headlight mod that looked super easy AND quick"....
take headlights off
drink some beer (i recommend 64 calorie miller; taste good and makes you feel like your basically working out "no, babe- this shit is only 64 calories; i can drink as many as i want")
200 degrees 7 min--- (i did 8 minutes; cause i like to live on the edge...)
cook that shit; get your gf's oven mitts or moms will work too (whom ever your living with)... pry headlight apart with flathead (you will end up throwing away a flat head screw driver at the end of this; its also best to choose some one elses screw driver that you dont care about)
this is the dirty rat bastid you wanted to get rid of...
when i was about to put them back together i re-heated them in the oven to get the stick glue shit all sticky again; i did another generous 7 minutes in the oven...
get some caulk or automotive sealer or bath sealer or what evers you have and reseal around the headlight- you dont want moistier to get back in.... apply pressure when putting headlight back together.. depending on your weight dont stand on your headlight (again this is where 64 calorie beer really starts to pay off)
you will quickly become sick of applying pressure, or standing on your headlight; feel free to use gfs coffee table and couch...
thats it- now we wait; its not a fast mod; its not an easy mod like the interwebs would have you believe...
results tomorrow...
made a run to the store; got paint- a bulb for the amber fender cornerlight (clears should be arriving soon)- and some head light cleaner; as my headlights were kinda foggy and ugly...
this is the best paint for bumpers; plastics of anysort; whatever ya need (gives a semi gloss apperance without rattle-can persona.... lols) an oem look...
freshly sprayed...
drying...
then i picked up this turd headlight cleaner $7.99... i was very skeptical it would work but was very pleased with the results....
BEFORES:
AFTERS: it may not show but befores really sucked and afters look awesome...
all done for now (i started to take the letters off of my banner on my windshield but its too cold today- they will come off a lot easier in the sun)....
anyways i like the way things turned out--- cleaner...
Element looking SiCc dawg,
sup with the shoes...
Let's see them matching old school
VAns....
hahaa
my shoes? or the E's shoes? lols i alternate between my vans and my chucks... the element would look bad ass with matching checkered rims though... i think....?
Yes, do the checkered wheels...that'd be a first time I've seen something like that. I'm likin this a lot. Why are you taking off the letters on the banner?
Element's looking real nice! I wish they made a one with a third bench (minivan seating but Element style), or did they? Either way, I like your style! Keep it up.
charb and i finally got around to lowering the E; it was a pain in the ass
would like to go lower in the rear.... the ride is kind of rough as my tires may be a little large as they rub a dub dub on every bump in the road... imo it looks a bazillion times better...
looks good mna, to bad cant come over the pass next weekend to the meet...i got to put in my replacment motor so my car can go down the street again witout sounding like a subaru !!!

yeah i plan on painting that part too; just ran out of time- needed my car put back together...

I don't think the new alloys would look good checkered. But the wheels you just took off might look real good.
What you have there is a brassiere!
the wife and i just got one.
look at what i saw on h-t:
kinda of a joke on a local forum; basically no matter how low you get your car some one will come in your thread and say "needs moar low"...
and new treats came in the mail...
moar better pixors later...
Let's quick dickin around and get the job done...
would like to go lower in the rear.... the ride is kind of rough as my tires may be a little large as they rub a dub dub on every bump in the road... imo it looks a bazillion times better...
bye bye
LoL
GEa
Vans
oh yeah, Element looks aight lowered.
