awe dang, whats gonna happen the weekend he forgets to wax his car?! this will seem like an opra show; bring out the tissues, and a comfortable chair, its gonna be a long post lol, just playing man.
as for this thread, i bought a set of one peice projector headlights for my 97, looked great, and those projector lightbeems were like two suns coming at you, even on a sunny day. had to always drive with the fogs on, hehe. however didnt fit properly and had to do way too many adjustments to get them in, including cut out a part of the header panel so theyde go in all the way. in the end ALL the adjusters broke off after so much putting them in and taking them back out to get them right. sucked cause they cost about $230. would have been well worth it if they would have fit from the very beginning. ill consider them again for my 04. this time ill try them on before paying!

All the work I had done at DaSilva racing that cost me thousands to have fixed and is still causing me issues.

I could have bought a whole other car by now!

Let's see, letting him cut and balance a driveshaft too short and put it in for a few years.
Not machining a brand new flywheel, ruining it on a clutch that didn't fit and then still not machining it and ruining that clutch and the flywheel.

im guessing it wont do it to you, seeing it is a different car, and different set up.
