I know the heads are kinda behind, but can't really mount them flush since my bumper is slanted or not flat. At least, I made them straight with respect to each other.
If I pull them out a bit, at least a quarter of the head is exposed.
Haven't any of you had any problems with the molding tape and moisture?
Since it was raining today, I noticed that the tape slight peels off...
thanks for any inputs
Looks good, I like the "toe out" configuration on the heads.Quote:

the grill is actually not deep enough. It only has like 1/2 inch in depth, unless I cut it out. Also, the grill is as flimsy as jelly.
It was a pain getting it straight, I had to get under the bumper and draw lines with a ruler and marker...
Oh yeah, that's right those things are thin.Quote:

I had problems the first time I used the molding tape after I washed my car. This was because after I put the tape on I used force to twist and adjust my heads, is this what you did? I took the tape off and applied new molding tape being cautious to get it perfectly right when I put it on and it's been perfect through rains and my car washes.Quote:

His LPP heads were mounted in the same position on his car and recessed about as much as yours. Center mass and headlight PTs were easily obtainable. I would move those heads out flush with the bumper. Just my .02. Thread link below.

^ +1. I'd go flush, too.
As for the 3M Automotive Molding/Trim tape, if you've taken care to prep the area and the heads properly, you don't have to worry about weathering concerns. :)
I measured that the heads are recessed only by 1/2" I guess it's not a big deal...
As for LeeDereck, his heads were to low and not level...
