I know the mirror glass just pops out giving access to the bulbs. I went through it changing the puddle lights to 5000K LEDS.

Yeah he's kind of ridiculous with pricing but only lenses I see on Ebay US right now. He is also one selling a Bentley GT used grille for $3000.

Hope you get it sorted with little pain.

Sorry to hear about the theft Rico. Some people are ridiculous.

On a brighter note... Looking forward to seeing the carbon fiber exhaust tips on your car! Those look really good and appear to be very nicely made.

Thanks Guys, as soon as they arrive got to make up a couple of pipes & fit them, Ive done all the prep work & the drawing for the fabrication as soon as they done I'll post it up, the car has onyx badges on the wings (fender) which I've had re made with red led lights behind need to remove the inner arch to fit these hoping to fit them at the same time, as long as my body lets me ...

I once went to lunch came and outside and realized someone stole the 'inner metal hub' off my 19" OEM wheel. You might think it was cheap to replace (such a small part right), but the part was unavailable and discontinued from the factory/dealer. After 3 weeks of searching I ended up getting one in the wrong color off ebay for US500, and this did not include the little plastic B cap, the chrome bezel around it, or the two special screws.

At first I thought it had fallen off because tightening them too much can warp the mounting holes of the screws but in those cases the screws would remain and the hub would just fall off. Hence, my mechanic and myself came to the conclusion that someone's had come off - couldn't/didn't want to source a new one - and stole mine.

Yes people are awful.

Hi Rico,

Yeah, lots of Envy out there. Envy is one of the seven deadly sins! On one of the huge Corvette sites with thousands of members where I am too, practically once a week someone posts about getting their car keyed, or damaged in parking lots everywhere and most of them park in places where no other store patron would. So, some are going out of their way to reach a car and damage it, presumably because they don't think others should have something nice....too bad!.....
