We had no power, no indicators and the immobilizer light was...

    Hey guys so just wondering what you guys think I should do. I just got the sx cluster for my car and I don't have the bezel. I was wondering if it would be a smart idea to cut the middle of the ex bezel to match up the sx cluster instead of buying it. I know how expensive it is to buy the bezel...

    We only got 1 Key FOB due to purchasing a used vehicle. I have saw a couple "new" with uncut keys for sale on Ebay but am curious how to get them programmed and how much the programming costs? Or can an existing Key FOB be re-programmed to a new car? I told my fiance we should contact the...

    Well, this has been done or attempted a number of times with mixed results. My goal is to have an OEM style no cut DRL come out of this experiment. I know this was tried once before... I think by Robbtemp? He didn't give a clearance number from the bumper to the support but I think Loman...

    hey guys, so i've bought no cut led drl from Loman4c, BUT it had some issues since it was made extremely crudely.I've been researching the materials i'd need to make a "proper" one or at least something that would be easier to interchange the LED strip once it dies.but i figured if i'm pretty...

    I see people use a jigsaw to cut the bumper for DRL but I have a hand held dremel with circular saw blade for metal cutting... Would I be able to use that for the bumper?
  12. Interior and Exterior Modifications
    Well I have been wanting DRL lights on my Corsa Blue SX since before I bought it. There was no way I was going to cut the bumper to get those OEM ones on there because it not only seemed like a lot of work but it just felt wrong! So my spring break project (also partly birthday to myself...

    Bought my Optima July 17 this year and had the usual 3 month free trial from Sirius. Within a couple of weeks I was getting bombarded with phone calls from them and then the emails started shortly after. My trial was to end Oct 18 and had moved since. My phone number changed so they haven't...

    So, how would cutting the bumper effect the new crash test methodology they are using? I wonder if the bumper support is beneficial to the new testing.

  17. Hybrids
    I am building a set of no cut DRL's for Dsandersus right now and wanted to come show them off. I have been doing the regular Optima no cut DRL's for a while and he contacted me to see if I would do something similar to the Hybrid. I don't personally like the OEM hybrid DRL's and I had no idea...

    I see several members have paid shops to do the OEM LED DRL install including the bumper cut and I was wondering what you guys paid or got quoted? Thanks
