I'd do it, but I'm 6-7 hrs. away. Looks like you have plenty of help available. P.S. Check your PM's- good photos waiting.

he's probably not responding to the LED offers anymore because i sent him a PM for the LED's and locked in the sale literally 2 minutes after he opened the thread

the more the merrier - i always say.. i gotta figure out where/when we can install the tail lights. my dad has a garage full of tools so we can do it at his house, but Saiko is doing me the favor and i'll drive to his place if need be. i'll PM you with more details when we find out when and where we're going to get these on.

sweet, hahah i was kinda hoping you would chime in kevin

i should be picking up these LED's today. i'll PM you, as soon as i get them in my hands, and find out what works best for your schedule. since you're so close to burbank we should hit up In-n-Out (my treat) then head to that park in Glendale(?) that you were talking about snapping pics at

Saiko - if you're still interested, come through and we'll turn this into a mini-meet. i know a few 818 Fits that have been trying to get together since May

i read somewhere that a 12" screwdriver would be long enough to remove the screw behind the bumper

well, with a long enough screw driver you can remove that screw but will be a biatch to align back up and reinsert. BUT thats not the problem. The problem is getting the guide pins in the tail light assembly to line up with the bumper.

I didnt wanna remove the bumper either but was forced to and then once I did I was like OH SNAP that was easy. The removal of the rear bumper is like 30 seconds...no joke. It's a snap.
