    Have you ever considered vinyl wrap? Really easy to install, durable and easily removed if you change your mind.

GROM ipod interface.

    I have! In fact my lower bumper valance is a SockMonkey vinyl sheet. Locally (El Paso, TX) I was quoted over $300 to have it done. With the scewpted hood I'm not sure I could do it well enough for me to be happy with it. Not sure where to get the vinyl either.

    Have you done it? If so, where do I get the vinyl and how to I cut it to shape?

    Your- means "belongs to you" As in YOUR brain.
    You're- means "you are" Did you really mean to say, "You are brain must hurt"?
    Funny that YOU'RE breaking HIS chops for being dumb!! ;)

    It is indeed a beagle.....my parents were one of the largest breeders around for them for years (no longer) so I got him for my fiancé a couple years back and she was at work yesterday so I figured he could help with the install hehe

    Thanks! As long as you are going to be able to position the lights so you don't have to look directly at them you should be fine. Just get one and try it first hell it's only $25 then go from there and see if you need a second or third or fourth. But yes they are insanely bright for how small they are

    Look in the regional sections for something close to you and ask for some help. Or when the next meet is.
