JDane07 --- Same old, same old

JDane07 · 08-21-2012, 10:28 PM

Nothing really new on the car, except the orion v2's.

To make a long, frustrating story short:

Secondary shop screws up, doesn't black out headlights (even though I requested it). Refuses to open up the headlights a second time to perform the blackout.

Primary shop (the ones who took my headlights out and sent them to secondary shop) says my bad for nearly two weeks of me being car-less for nothing, and repays me by ordering new set of OEM headlights, and will then proceed to have them done the way originally intended, free of charge.

EDITED WITH MORE PICS
Now on to some pics.

Definitely worth all the frustration, especially when I get the new, blacked-out lights installed.

And check out the new pics from today!

I picked up a fairly inexpensive point-and-shoot Nikon the other day, so I'm still trying to figure out exposures and ISO's and crap lol

Haha yeah, at least it's easy to remember. How can you not remember that 5 WUV's 4?

JDane07 · 09-06-2012, 01:52 AM

So a tiny little update in information:

The new lights are getting brand-spankin-new orion V4's installed along with the blackout. Should have them installed in the next week or two...Umnitza is waiting on shipments.
Excited to see how the V4's stack up against the V2's.

Thought you did your headlight mod a few weeks ago!?

Route 16 · 09-06-2012, 02:15 AM

They used to do everything in house, now there's a second shop? hmm good job on the mod though.

datbimmerdoe · 09-06-2012, 02:16 AM
