haha, yea i know i forgot the damn screws because i set them on the living room desk and i was working on the lights in the kitchen, just forgot. i think they will be find without them considering i sealed them up really good. new wheels will be here tomorrow and exhaust gets put on one of the next 3 days.
 
You should have cleaned the bug juice off your bumper for the pics, lol. But the lights look great. I was thinking of doing this, but decided I'm too lazy to do it.

Im gonna do this eventually....i swear....

its really not as hard as i thought it would be, thats y i kept spacing it off. I was scared of taking the bumper off, which turned out to be cake. as long as your careful with the lil clips on each side, then its simple. Im really happy with it, helps make the front match the rear tinted tails and should look good with my kyowa k2 wheels i get tomorrow.

You will be ok. Doesn't get hot enough to peel off the paint. I used Krylon satin black for mine.
