Bondo will sag or crack over time. I always recommend Best Image tint on s railroad in San Mateo. They offer a lifetime warranty and you can get it done cheap. Just ask for a reasonable price for the window say $50? Idk

I had had them detail my car and they do a good job, but I dont know if I would go as far as to say they paint well. $250 to paint a rear bumper they say. Go for it and see how it comes out. For sure dont have it done with bondo. It should be spot welded to do it the proper way.

Crappy part was I had customers ready to go so they had to wait while I got the drivers info. I really wanted to tear the focker a new one for driving so close but it would have looked bad to the customers.

BTW. I have some LEDs for the side markers. They are the 6 LEDs I think. I dont need them since I have modded markers. You are welcome to have them if I can find them. LEt me know...

Ya def interested was going to pick em up from the led website you reccomended anyways. If you got em let me know : )

question..

if you opened the door while a car was coming.. isn't it your fault?

i mean.. i had close calls in downtown LA when I HAVE to drive like 6 inches away from parked cars.. if someone opens their door.. they are dead.. but not my fault... haha

Yes it would have been my fault but no cars were coming and I was getting out as he came around a corner at like 25 mph didn't even see me till he hit me.

And ya that was me went to best image on south railroad. They were really quick with my car knowing I had to go to work.
