so should i go out to walmart and spend 40-50 bucks on a dremel and cut the little piece out or use a hammer to slightly bash it in to make some space? whats the best way to do it?

 

hitting it with a hammer isnt as savage as it sounds, it bends easily and nicely and it doesnt look hacked up like you beat it with a hammer. i think cutting it all jagged edged and not painting the edge would look worse. id just use a hammer.

 

i think ill just go buy a rubber mallet, all i have is a metal one and thats gonna hurt the car!

 

Just use your hand to bend it...It doesn't take much.

 

Hercules Hercules!!! haha Iwould try the hammer thingy.... if you cut it you probably have to cover up the bare metal with something primer/paint something....

 

or you could just use some pliers with a rag or something soft under the teeth to bend the metal.

 

Whats wrong with using a hand, i do most of my body work with my palm. im sure that metal is just as soft and bendable. a few good hits with your palm should bend it enough and it should stay smooth and even bend, not all jagged and beat up looking like with a hammer

 

Just bend it you *****, no one is going to take the tail lights off to see if you did a ghetto job or not.

 

I think the rubber mallet sounds like the best idea.

 

if you hammer it, better rub it clean with acetone and spray anti-rust **** on it.

and a rag so the teeth didnt bite throught he paint. worked perfectly and actually bent uniformally so it doesnt even look like its not supposed to be like that.

 

i just used a rag and vice grips..

 

you know .. i just plopped the s5 lights in my s4 vert and they fit fine ?

 

whats teh build date of the s4 vert? i have a theory on that...

 

idk but its an 88 .. i think in the later part of the year

 

im tellin u, its really simple, rag it, bang the **** out of ur car, and install em. that is all.
im surprised that no one told u to search for a thread yet HAHHAHHHHAHHHAHA. jk

I have an 88 vert and I needed to "adjust" the metal to mount my s5 tails. Channel Locks and a cloth did the job very cleanly.
