i cant believe i will admit to this but i got the bulbs from coopersport. its is from the bulb upgrade package but i am guessing that you could just order the bulbs you want. sorry but i dont remember the part number but it is easy to find on the site.

Okay, thanks... I'll check it out.

And why the embarrassment over Coopersport ? You must know something about them that I don't.

lol...i am guessing that you may be the only person that didnt see my post from about two weeks ago. gnatster had to eventually shut it down. I would say to just make sure you dont place the order online but rather call and speak to someone to see if the actually even have it in stock. they tend to be fairly good with bulbs though and i think they have a lifetime warrentee

Me... miss a thread ?? How did THAT happen ?!?!

Kidding. After two years on the thread, I no longer read most threads. I tend to just look at the first page of new stuff and see if anything strikes me. So, sorry I missed that one !!

Yep, I'm sure that will help. I'll try to hunt those bulbs down.

Tried spray painting my orange bulbs but I can still see the orange coming through. This will work MUCH better.

Yeah, Andrew, you do need to let Epic cure 24 hours before putting anything on top of it.

And what's up with all those coats of Slick ? You trying to make all the bugs slide off the paint for easier washing ??

And no, I don't believe it would be any problem adding another coat of Epic later, on top of your Slick. It should adhere just fine.

ya if they would slide off rather than stick...COOL. I just cant get over the feeling that slick leaves behind! I wonder if i could get enough to fill a swimming pool then just have the car "dunked" every day....

you should get OG's pressure washer and use slick as your rinse cycle.
