Thanks again. My question is how low can i drop it.lol. I mean I live in NC and the roads are not the best but ive seen alot worst. I mean i don't want it so low where when im going over a bridge the front is going to hit the road where there is a slight incline between the road and bridge. Thats going to be my only concern. Besides that the roads are not that bad. I want to clear the tail lights also. Any1 tried this? Just wondering how hard it was. Thanks

I would stay at the height you're at now. I think you have to put the tail lights in the oven to open them up then remove the yellow part. Just make sure the oven is off when you put the lights in. Turn the oven on to about 300-350 degrees for about 20 minutes then turn it off and put the lights in for about 10-15 minutes. You could put a piece of wood underneath them and also make sure they're not touching any part of the oven, test fit them in the oven first.

EDIT: forgot to mention, your car's looking good, I like the wheels and the kit! The JP 3-piece will look great, and maybe a chrome trunk bar; the back is a little plain right now IMHO.

I cleared mine using the oven method, it works but it's a pain. The glue isn't as heat-sensitive as other lights I've opened. Others have used a dremel to very carefully seperate the pieces, I don't trust myself to make a clean cut like that. Mine came out looking good but I got a couple very small stress marks in the lens, happens pretty easily when you're prying them apart since the lens is fairly thin. The back piece also distorted slightly so I couldn't get one of the screws to line up properly when mounting them. So you gotta be careful with the heat or you could melt the housing and destroy the light. I wouldn't put the oven above 200, turn it off once it's reached temp and put the light in, start working at seperating it after about 10 minutes. Work slowly, you'll probably need to put it back in the oven for a little longer at least once or twice. Or you could just buy mine, I've been meaning to put them up for sale soon since I switched to 01 tails.
