Time to bring out the bb gun and start dropping some cats. If I saw a cat on my car, that cat would never be seen again....

I agree with dyss, time to move out

Anybody have the lights blacked out here? What is the total cost removal painting, and reinstalling?

Yeah so I called and I dont think installation is going to be cheaper than $225. I guess I'm going to have to buy some tools and do it myself and make some cat skin hats at the same time

Can't wash your car at your apartment complex? Can't even work on your own car either. You guys got some sort of HOA strict rules there cause that really sucks I definitely wouldn't live there.

Somebody help this poor guy out already there's like a gazillion people in Houston.

Think they don't do this mod. Call and ask him.

OP ask where to go for install....so I referred him/her to my friend's shop if he doesn't want to DIY.

Anyone have a answer, should I clear my headlights after paint or not. For those of you that have done the diy what did you guys/gals end up doing?

I believe you called and spoke to Doug. You'll have to forgive him but he's used to turning wrenches on some of the older Z's, and on those cars I would never question his estimates. If we were talking about doing headlights on a 300zx, that would probably be in the right ballpark.

I've been brought in recently and have a bit more knowledge on some of the newer cars and these cats are right. It really just takes about 15 minutes to get the bumper off, as long as all your parts are in order I can't see the whole thing taking longer than an hour.

I am really looking forward to being more active on this forum and seeing some of you Z33 guys come by our shop. If you still need those lights installed, swing by or call and I'll work something out for you. Thanks!
