Done!!! Thanks Dougie for organizing the group buy>>
that was the push I needed to ditch those god-awful amber reflectors and lenses! Also thanks to TTStuff for the quick shipping and Kareem of WheaTT for the kick-*** writeup.
I still have some adjusting to do on the bumper cover and lights, but I needed to throw it back together to get to a BBQ this afternoon. Luckily, I was able to get a head start on the cookout, downing a sixer of Newcastle to help the install go smoothly.

ive been thinkin about this relativly inexpensive mod to get rid of those ugly >
amber things but how hard was the install, from what i understand you have to take off the bumper and melt off the clear cover to get to the amber covers. how long does this take and how hard is it. def looks awesome in the pics. tia

I did the whole thing in about 3 hours>>
could have been less, but this was my 1st time taking the nose off. Use the write-up in Kareem of WheaTT's Fotki and it'll be pretty simple. You don't need many tools for removal of the bumper cover:
Various flatblade screwdrivers
#2 phillips screwdriver
T25 and T30 Torx sockets
Deep well 3/8" drive 10mm socket
3" and 6" 3/8" drive extensions
3/8" drive ratchet
Lug wrench or 17mm socket and breaker bar
Torque wrench for reinstalling wheels
I think that's it. Go slow, don't force anything, take your time, etc. Should be an easy job for the beginner. A helper would have been nice for removal / refitting of the bumper cover, but it's fairly light.
