    Ahhhh.....:mad:...........:(

    Guess I have to Betty Crocker these fuckers!

    After last nights frustration and staring at them for 15 minutes or more (was hoping they would mysteriously fix themselves) I thought of a few things:

    1.Cook the bitches and hope for the best , open it and pop lens back in.
    2.Cook the bitches and hope for the best , open it, BHLM part of it and put lens back in.
    3.Cook the bitches and hope for the best , open it , pop out both of those blinker lenses (other side one has melted part on it:mad:) throw blinker lenses the fuck away and put em back together and call it good.

    :confused:

    Conclusion: Gotta cook the bitches!

    Yeah man....it's ridiculous. And going into it and buying it from "them", I read all the fine print on returns and all that horseshit and thought if worse comes to worse and these things have problems, I can always cook em, open em up and do whatever........I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO DO THAT AND SHOULDN'T HAVE TOO :mad:

    It comes with the territory and who knows...it could be a blessing ..(ooopps I spelled headache wrong).....in disguise. I might get creative when cooking them and opening them up and try to figure out something no one has done yet;)...we'll see what mood i'm in.

    Sorry but a shift knob made your transmission shift better?

    EDIT: After reading what I wrote I sound like a douche lol sorry I wasn't trying to be a dick just curious as to how that works.

    I heavier one makes the throws easier. Just more momentum. I'm sure he didn't mean to claim it changed his transmission.

    After years of watching McGyver I thought i would see if it would pay off....I took out my blinker bulb and then took these 3 pieces and taped them together and put it thru the bulb hole.......the suction cup wouldn't stick to the plastic lens...:(...dammitt! I figured if it would stick I could pull it into the slots they go in and maybe when i pull the suction cup off it would of popped the lens back in!!

    No it's just shifts better as the added weight has momentum behind it causing it to basicaly fall into gear where as before I actually had to pull it into gear.

    Ah ok I see what you are saying. I had that problem with my truck too. It was kind of a bitch to shift into 2nd sometimes lol wish I would have know that a while ago.

    So that makes a big difference...:cool:. I never would have thought of it. Might be worth trying it out. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the knob? :)

    I got it at vexmotorsports.com there normally 50$ they have them for 40 and new member 5$ off discount I got it for 35 with free shipping I was skeptical at first and did research on it and come to find out a lot of sport car people use them also. Threads are 12mm 1.25 for the 5 speed. If u get it from them click coupon code at time top of the menus for 5$ off

    sprayed my wheels this morning
    they look effin ahhsome
    also used nightshades spray on headlights
    very dissappointed
    was gonna go bhlm, but was to impatient and worried about the aftermarket lights the bodyshop put in after a crash a few years ago.scared they wouldnt go back right
    not happy with the choice i made. if anyones considering spray tint,and this may have been discussed a zillion times, my opinion is dont do it. they look bluish, and spotty
    it would need another one or two coats to look good, and then they'd be way to dark.
    arghhh....fartknockers...it was all going so well
    i gotta throw this in, i am not a pro paint sprayer, so it may have something to do with how they came out, so to anyone with little experience may want to reconsider
    looks like i gotta waste $$$ on new lamps at some point
    ill post pics if anyones interested, if not i'd rather not even look at them for awhile
