    went to pic it up from the shop and the guy stuck them on too low. was pissed at first and thought about trying to peel it off but don't want to risk it pulling the paint up with the emblem. it's kinda growing on me though

    I bought one of these today for $20 at Discount Tire. The only thing is that none of the sockets fit my lug nuts. I could just buy the right socket OR return it and buy an 18" or 25" breaker bar for half the price of the Gorilla and then just get the right sized socket :notsure:

    The 21mm socket should fit,... weird. I just have the breaker bar and went out and bought 21mm and 19mm sockets.

    Haha just ordered them off of ebay for about 100 bucks. Had a set of similar lights that I ordered right after I got the truck and they didn't get hazy for about 4 years so not bad for egay.

    Give it about 30-45 days to let the clear coat cure, then you can debadge it if you want.

    I still need to see if my stock tire iron will work. I'm not exactly sure what size my lug nuts are (probably the same) but the sockets that came with the wrench I bought today are too shallow or too thick to fit around the lug nut or in the wheel.

    Crappy pic but it's a little tight around the lug nuts. Doubt the stock tire iron would fit.

    yeah that's the gameplan for now. just sucks because I told him that I wanted to leave it debadged. would've saved us both some time if he hadn't slapped them so low on the door

    I sanded and primed/painted mine with rattle can paint. They are metal and snap in and out relatively easy.
