I swear my intention was not to attack him, i did not post his name at first, but alot people kept asking me his name. and some suggest just post it. So i did, but soon after, i realized it was unethical of me doing so. So i do apologize the him about that.

Attachment 17484

another screw missing inside the headlight at the top to hold the parking amber piece still.

I have no idea what you're trying to point out in those pictures. Your descriptions aren't very helpful either

Attachment 17485
Another piece of clip missing in the middle (note this is attached to the car, not bumper.)
The white stuff in the center is super glue and plastic i tried using again, but its not going on well.

well, im doing as best i can right now, but its still up you guys to decide... I am not trying to have a fight about whos right or wrong... for the hundreds time. I am just sharing my experience. I am over this screw ups already.

You do know honda/acura recommends changing those clips everytime u take them off right ?? They dont last forever ....

Who mod car with cheap past

Attachment 17486
Those were the sealant used before, the picture shows half of it, other half i scrapped already. Is it still not enough to completely seal? (Sorry kinda noob at this) should i add more sealeant to my headlight than the picture shown?

+1 read up on tutorials as there are tons of them online.

I read online about lowering my car.
started the process.
got stuck.
post online for help.
RS to the rescue :fullofwin:
learnt some new stuff in the process

Spoiler!

1) Fastener clips (bumper panel fasteners clips plastic trim Wheel Arch: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike) something like those.
2) Sorry for confusion, it was my friend who checked my car out when I bought it, and also checked it out after the mods. If u wanna say hes not reliable then I have nothing more to argue about this point.
3) Clear lense? It was included afterwards, extra charge were asked after I paid the set 800$, I dun have any receipt obviously so iunno what can we argue about that.
4) Yes, it was done, headlight condensation is done? Few screw /clip not installed = done?
5) Yes as I said earlier, my stupid fault for trusting some private modder. I said this numerous time above too replying to other people. I SAID ITS MY FAULT FOR PICKING PRIVATE MODDER. This whole thing is just to warn other people about private modders(not specifically you guys) and share experiences I had
6) The clip that is ATTACHED to the bumper was broken when you pushed the bumper/fender in, and broken pieces are missing so icant even glue them back…
7) I know the major problem is not from you, I told everyone else that too. The major problem comes from Eric. I went to the dealer BECAUSE Eric told me 100% it was not related to the wire. I even had the chance to change(read above about exp at dealer) I later told him Tuesday is fine too, he original words “okk, whenn?”. After that I told him about me having proof, then he blocked right after. I am not blaming you for this and im not angry about this at u because I told everyone that you are not the main problem here. im just clarifying about what happened.
8) Taking the bumper off takes 5min.. I just took them off today, It took me 5min because half of screws weren’t on… and also, I did not even blame u on this, I just said I thought those were good quality.
9) Ill be posting the pictures for screws inside the headlight soon. This is a diagram for headlight Acura Parts @ AcuraOEMparts.com - Genuine Acura OEM Parts from Delray Acura
10) Yes, so he does have my book and I dun see any hint of getting it back. Sorry for misunderstanding.
11) I swear text message proof because (ironically) I had a fight my gf about taking the picture and sending it to you, and on facebook to Eric for sure. To people who are reading this. Obviously I cannot show u in forum, so believe in him or me on ourselves.
12) The headlight was not ready, I checked all the marks inside it was still there. Plus, that was the time when Eric dumped Alcohol inside, so if it was done, shouldn’t there be screwed up paint inside already? Which I did not see.
13) Lol really? My fault for asking u such simple questions. That u just replied in person with 1-2 sentence. And still again, almost everything I asked was about things I had to do to fix u guys’ leftover.
14) The original happened like this. I got there, he said “I g2g soon, you do the rear bumper and ill do the front” me”okay” after like 10min, I asked to borrow a few tools and also helped him taking screws off the front bumper. Later he finished front grille before me, and he was like do u need help? I said just 1 screw on each side then im done. Then he helped me on taking 1 screw on each side off(total of 2) then I took the bumper off and took the back piece off. Total spend was about 1hr. Also, before I left I asked him if he needs anything else or was I suppose to do anything else. He said no everything is done and you can go now. That is why I left.

As I stated earlier, all I am doing is telling my experience. I did say ur name for few minutes but realized it was it was bad. Also, I said you DID NOT cause the main problem to everyone who asked my about this, and to everyone else who were reading it. I said the main fault is the other dude.

1) Oh those clips, I thought you meant something else. There were 2 removed on each side, the fender liner was completely fine so I forgot about it (yes, stupid reason). The fender liner never came off or moved though, right? There's many other clips holding it onto the wheel well, the 2 holding it onto the bumper were taken off. If anything, I can give you some extra ones I have laying around...

2) By checking out your car, did he take off the bumper and look at the tabs? -_- Because if not, yeah he can still check it out right now (you can too in the picture I posted) and see that the bumper looks completely fine.

3) Clear lens was $60 after shipping... didn't even charge you for install. You said you wanted it, right now I don't even know what the fuck the whole point of this is.

4) I haven't seen it condensate nor have you told me about anything like that after we sealed it. Missing 2 clips on the fender liner that doesn't affect it from moving, which isn't an excuse, can be considered not done. Okay, my bad then and I apologize

5) Are you kidding me? You're not specifically targeting us but you fucking post our full names on your first post and say all of this bs? Fuck off

6) Take a picture of where it's supposed to be then, I don't know what the hell you're talking about because nothing broke off.

7) Don't want to read.

8) If it takes 5 minutes then do the fucking job yourself. I can't even take off your bumper in 5 minutes, when are you going to stop with this bullshit. You did blame me, go reread your own post

9) Okay.

10) Yes he does have your book, he has no use for it so why can't you get it back? If anything I'll drop it off at your house personally tomorrow after my exam.

11) Don't even know what you're talking about anymore, don't want to bother anymore

12) Yes alcohol was dumped inside that was our bad, completely and I don't know what else I can say except for sorry and it should not have happened. I don't know what you're talking about, screwed up paint inside.. It was screwed up, then stripped with paint stripper and then prepped and repainted.

13) Yes go find anyone at all, any shop, anything and try asking them the amount of questions you asked us and see how they react. You're lucky that you even got a 1-2 sentence reply for all your questions. You asked me about what I learned over like 3 years in 3 months.

14) No shit you said you needed 30 minutes, he came during the 1-2 hour break between his classes and then you obviously needed longer than that. And no, you said it's faster if he did the front and you did the rear, and you barely took off anything in the end. You spent 1 and a half hours on it, I know because you were there when I left and he called me when you were finally gone. He barely finished his own shit for his class because of that but didn't say anything to you. There was nothing else to do after the shit was taken off and he had to fucking go, what else is there.

Jesus christ

Attachment 17487

Last picture i have.
the white part is where they drilled the hole into the headlight.. for linking the LED and tried to fill it up with sealant..

http://replygif.net/i/148

seriously bro, its not that hard to do and why would u even give ur damn car for that

not only did u get ripped off hard but u got played with sooo badly

at this point i'm going to give you the best piece of advice possible.

stop fucking with your car.

stop getting other people who shouldnt to fuck with your car.

take the car to a reputable shop, explain the situation and hopefully they'll cut you some slack on the labour.

i suggest taking it to speed syndicate as there are good reviews here and through experiences that my friends have had there.

:toot:

For fuck sake make your clusterfuck wall of text easier to read if you want people to take this seriously.

I dont care to read this whole thing. Limitless sucks at working on cars, OP sucks at english and life. You are a good match. Maybe get married.

seriously though. just do everything he just said in the order he said and you'll be dandy

ps: when condensation happens after a headlight job, what's the first thing everybody always does? take a photo to show installer the problem. so why do you have no photos of the condensated light, and instead have only photos of the interior of the housing?

2) it was broken after that. Initial mod attempt.
4) it was you that texted me asking me
Orginal text on may 30th(iphone) you”can you send me some pics of the headlight?” me”-sends 3 pictures- left side a lil fog but it comes and goes, passenger side*.” You”ohh.. this is drivers side?” me”first one is the passenger, last 2 is driver.”
you can try checking your phone history from before. Those were exact words. Nothing further I can do to prove it.
5) it was edited after I posted the one without ur name, then people kept asking me for it. But I do sincerely apologize for that being unethical
6) picture posted
8) This why I said that im letting others judge, iunno whose fault it is at last because I understand you have ur own story, and I have mine.
10) okay thank you for that just throw it into the mailbox if you do because ima be out all day 2morrow, and I cant ask for it back because I have no way of contacting him.
11) at 4
12) that’s not what I meant. I know and understand that u screwed up on alcohol and u redid it again which i appreciate. The point I was making is that, u said on 3rd day everything on headlight was done, just waiting for grille. However, since u dumped the alcohol to treat the ink/marks inside there should’ve been paint screw up when I was there checking the headlight on the 3rd day. This means that you did not finish cleaning the headlight on the 3rd day.
14) yes and u heard this from him? And u only believed him and do not believe me at all. Nothing I can do about that since you weren’t there.

If nothing else has been read on my replies, read this.

I did NOT sell shit to anyone. I did not claim to have any experience with anything. I had this guy on my facebook from selling him an ipod touch 5 years ago or whatever. I posted pictures of my own 370z on my own album on facebook. He bought his TL, he saw my album, messaged me asking if I can do it for him and he'll pay me. I said that I haven't done headlights for other people, I'm only doing it for my own car right now. He said again, he'll pay me if I do it for him, along with pnp hid kits and whatnot. I said didn't seem like it was hard, okay.

Don't know what the fuck the spam is about in chat, but headlight was painted. Haven't heard from the guy about condensation after it was sealed the second time. HID kit, switchback leds are working minus the one burnt HID bulb.

Didn't sell him shit, didn't say I was experienced or anything. Merely posted a picture of facebook about my car. Everything is working, I don't know what the hell the AC is about because I did not do wiring but I believe it's not the wiring's fault.

@iceman If you don't care enough to read the shit, I don't see how you can come up to any logical conclusion.

And this is exactly why I don't work on anybody else's car except my own, and friends. Actual friends; people I hang out with.

Cause you'll get some guy who knows nothing about cars, expecting top notch service for bottom dollar prices. Shit doesn't work that way. LIFE doesn't work that way.

Stop "modding" cars. Go to any shop with the same attitude/lack of knowledge, and you'll get fucked.

oh i still have the pics from that condensation i sent you.[ATTACH]Attachment 17489[/ATTACH]

Yeah, that's before the seal the second time. We addressed this shit already with you and it was fixed.

I think everyone is learning a lesson here.

Except OP. pretty sure he's gonna be a fool for life.

You are trash. You claim to be some sort of amateur who worked with this shit every now and then and then decide to take on this huge project involving all sorts of electronics and fuckin baking headlights and LEDs and HIDs. You probably already knew you were in over your head but the thought of bilking some noob out of his hard earned cash was too easy for you. I'm sure you 69'd your FOB gay buddy Eric while using this poor noobs cash as a mattress.

Get with the fuckin program...you are stupid and didn't have a goddamn clue.

The op got ripped off completely....I think it's best you arrange to refund some of his money. Your work is trash, your responses are trash....and you are a damn loser trying to take advantage of the poor noob.
