why not for $65 and send it to this one guy(i forgot his name) and get it done without spending $100 with you and spending 3hours when you could mess up. The $65 is a done deal. He has done soo many and is obviously a professional at it.

I don't think he's being an *******........there was a guy doing it for $65 and he has done a great deal of them at that price. They turn out VERY well from what I understand. I don't blame the guy for referring to a $35 discount.

I say try doing it yourself, I did, and it turned out great. If you mess up, all you you have to do is use a paint remover like Easy Lift Off which will remove any painting errors or glue mishaps, without hurting the plastic. It's a pretty easy job, just be patient.

The "other guy"s name is Ryan Wolfe. His username here is rx7even, and he charges $65. At last count (according to him), he's done 70 sets.

As has been said many times on this forums, you can pay someone to do it, or do it yourself and find out that its not really that bad.

Check out my how-to section for instructions and for alternatives to the standard conversion if you think you'd rather DIY.

CPunla: You might want to look in the mirror when calling people an *******.

Why is this thread in tech support?

Cpunla, just becuase someone does the taillight conversion $35 cheaper than you, you dont have to start being a loser. This Ryan guy has done tons of conversions and is pretty much an expert at it.

P.S. well, i guess you lost tons of buisness, thats ok.. right?

I can't get my tail light off! I've removed the 3 screws for each tail light and the center brake light completely but the tail lights still won't come off!

Any tips? I think there are some light bulb assembly stuff that's holding the tail light in place. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Another hick? I sure hope your not referring to me.

Experience is worth a thousand words. I've done about 80 sets, youve done about 3 (thats what I get from you're post). Who's YOUR daddy?

Send me an email to rx7even@yahoo.com and I'll send you some directions on removing them to see if it helps (if you havent gotten them off already).

Only one person has less posts than you, and only by 12 posts. Guess you took lil vipers advice and started looking in the mirror before you started calling people names.

I hate pissing matches, but someone just had to comment on that one.

after you remove the screws, you have to slide the taillights out, away from the center piece. It will be really tight, but trust me, they come out.

Here's a hint, make comments on those that are slower than you (there's probably no one that meets that criteria). You rookies have problems just making your cars fast. You guys are making a big deal out of tail lights. Let's see you argue about a bridge port or BIG single turbo's. Hmmm. Nothing, to say on that subject? Didn't think so. -----LOSERS.-----
How about a bridgeported single turbo 13B? Built one. Ran 9's in the quarter at 26psi all day long. Think before you type, makes you seem smarter. All people did was state what was out there, you're the one that started insulting potential customers. You should do your homework in business, maybe you'll learn something that you can use next time. Dont forget, the pedal that makes you go is on the right. Good luck with that.
