    thanks im goin to get the lip i found it on ebay for like 155$ with 3-5 day delivery. instead over waithing 14-20 over seas haha.

    for the tail lights i bought some tint at wal-mart an just put it on an use black duct tape to hold it on but i just bought some real tint so i dont have to use tape haha. its got the sticky crap on one side so ima do it the proper way.
    as for the side markers i sanded off the wording/ numbers with fine sand paper comes off quick. then like 2 coats of
    nights shade. if you need more info let me know

    I got my VHT, that I've never used, from O'Reilly's. A local car parts store. A lot of places like that will have it.

    basically i bought a washer type thing lol yea that's what i call it.
    its a washer with a threaded bolt already attached to it. the washer was very thin an mad it perfect.
    then i put them through the 4 holes an put a normal washer an bolt on them. to hold them in place.
    then i put 3m double sided tape on the thin washer side. cleaned surfaced really well just fyi.
    then stuck it to the desired location on the bumper.
    took off the bolts and then masked everything off and plasti diped it so its resistant to the weather more.
    then bolted it on.

    before all this i had to epoxy bolts to the opposite side to i had something to screw the plate to.

    ill post some pics of the stuff i used after i go to lowes again.

    Loving that engine bay man. Really like the smoked out tails too. How did you do yours? I tried looking through your thread and have completely missed it. :(

    i first did it with 20% or 22% tint you can guy from wal-mart. you just strech it an use duct tape to hold it down. more difficult then it sould if you want it dont right. then i took it off an put vinyl tint on so it had a sticky side and you dont need tape. look 10X's better. but its very had to do at the top left and right corners where we have that buldge out on them. i messed one up a little to i got to redo it.

    other then that you could google. how to tint tail lights or something for better into.
