and then probably just take out the rear shock and bend my axle ends so my wheels are then sideways at a 75 degree angle to the ground.

Sounds boss

ok so i go to swap out my OEM headlights for the other set of OEM headlights i have today, mine slip out with no problem. driver side other light goes in just fine, move to passenger side and i pretty much flipped the **** out because even after almost an hour and trying to force the light in it doesn't go in the notches on the bottom, and this is an OEM headlight. so like i said i was so pissed off i went to put my original lights back in and yea they both just slip right in. so i have no ******* clue why the passenger side was being a bitch. so right now my plan is to take a full day to do the retro's and just leave the housings chrome that way i can hopefully get them done quick and back in the car without having to deal with any issues...

Tell us how you really feel

I can't find a website that sells the Stage 2 rotated mounts.. I hate not having a computer. Mobile sucks for everything. Also, look at my shifter help thread everyone! Thanks!

i was hot dude, almost punched the block wall of the garage

i know TTR has the STOP rotated mounts for the F35 trans which are almost $300 bucks, OTTP has the F35 rotated mounts for like $75 for stage 1 and i think it was like $130 for stage 2, now Powell doesn't have cobalt parts listed on his website but if you don't email Gloria@powellraceshop.com you can PM Powell Race Parts on here and i'm sure he'll help you out on info and exact prices

Hahahahahaha I changed my headlight bulbs in an Autozone parking lot one day cause they blew out while I was driving... my front bumper is torqued a tad bit, enough to make the passenger light a bitch to go in or out.

I almost ******* threw it through the giant autozone windows and just drove home with one headlight housing.

I know your pain -_-

Hahaha I don't even want to take mine out to clean them then.

Thanks man, I'll probably invest in those next week or beginning of next year. This wheel hop makes starting from a stop feel and seem like I've never driving stick before lol.

no problem dude, hope it works out and you can let me know how it goes. i may look to pick up a set next year to get rid of any axle bind that i may have with the coilovers

and toby yea it was just so irritating, like why does 1 OEM light fit perfect in 2 minutes but another OEM light i can't even get to force to line up? i know my bumper isn't perfect either but if 1 fits why doesnt the other, like wtf? i'll just keep the others in the garage for emergency purposes and sell them when that time comes
