Ftp

Anyone have a way to replace the studs that attach the FTP lenses to the car. I received a set (FTP)I bought and all the studs are missing. The location where the studs are implanted in the FTP are cracked pretty badly. Infact The studs were not even sent with the lenses.

that is the reason people replace them. You pretty much need to buy new ones. Or spend a ton of time figuring out how to implant new studs. If you figure it out let everyone know.

Yep, superglue sounds good to me. I might actually have the studs around, if they haven't already fallen out.
And there's really nothing to the sig. Its a very simple script that picks up on stuff incoded in the packets sent to the server.

Whats "creepy" about it? At least I have a sig


A member sends the lenses to me in this condition AFTER I asked it they had the studs intact. Told me they were good and I get garbage.
Sucks having your money stolen.

Well theres nothing to screw into on the lenses if the plastic is broken. You just have to find some other way to mount them. And like I said, epoxy works good, mine have never budged. You can always use velcro I suppose. But as for fixing the broken plastic pieces, I cant think of anything right off hand. You can always glue something on there and then tap it to fix the studs. *shrugs*

Two part epoxy, superglue sucks but you still have to go get some studs.
