touching the chrome isnt the prob... its getting the factory black sealer off that you accidentally smudge on there ! .... tip rubbing achohol and patinets work wonders !

my headlights arent that bad.. not the greatest clear job but the dont leak and the only problem is some one little black smudge inside that only i noticed... oh and some extra silcon (i didnt want it to leak)...
but stupidest diy was the vtec light - great for dohc cars the have some lift... but in our cars its just dumb... im turning it into a shift light for my tac its right in my gauge pod so its a really nice location and all i need to do is take off the resisters and its bright as hell
clearing headlights wasnt too bad, cause they turned out very good in the end. but i did mess up when i did them.
the stupidest thing i did was forgetting to tighten the nut on top of the strut when grey and i installed my springs. we forgot about it and i took a test drive (thanks to noname) and notised an unusual grinding noise. checked it out and found out what the problem was. if i didnt look under there i could have probably died if the strut fell off or something. oops.
I haven't messed anything up (knock on wood) I did get some black stuff on my headlights but you can't even see it......I have only had one major problem and it was when Blown, Cisco88 and I installed my Koni's we couldn't get the top nut off to get the hat of the strut off...so we had to drill it off.....
But install is great......the only thing I don't like is if I turn my wheel all the way to one direction in a fast turn...I kinda hear a shifting knock......
