275 might be hot for a metal baking pan, not for cardboard lol

at 275 for 10min, mine come apart instantly... it takes alot for the headlights to melt, especially if you put them lens down.

Yeah, it wasn't that I didn't believe you since you have done so many. Just the first I have heard of anyone going that high.

does it automatically loose, or do you still have to put some elbow grease to pry?

A little bit of elbow grease, but almost comes apart instantly, its juts annoying to hold because its so hot. I'll get a video of the next set I do.

No I have not. It will be a learning experience for all of us . you will need to bring you're own paint and sand paper. I do have tools and room to do 3 or 4 cars @ a time . it would be after work , 5pm Tuesday Thursday or any time during the weekend .

The only aftermarket ones I have seen are on ebay for the 03/04's. They are black and for the non-HID. I would not trust them...

Koo,

When I get sometime I ll take my primer, paint, sandpaper, heatgun, and sillicone over to your shop.

I have done some Blackouts before not on G35 so someone can assist me on taking bumper out and so on. And I can help on taking out housing and paiting =D
