To the OP, glad you got some assistance. As far as the people poking fun at you, you could've posted alot worse. You know, like by asking why the NOS bottle that you poured into your tank was causing your car to run a little rough.
i pour NOS energy drink in my tank

Snoopdan, you really need to lighten up on us old fart douchebags. If this is all it takes to get you upset, you might want to try counting to the current USA deficit until you calm down.

We were laughing with you....not at you....well, some of us were laughing at you. Post some pics when you're done.

PLRX What happened to you man? You used to be such a nice guy now it seems like in some threads you are always bashing and jumping on the band wagon instead of supporting and being the awesome dood you used to be... We've talked in PMs before and you were very supportive of me with the trans problems and stuff! Now its like our internet relationship has hit a brick wall!!!! Are you seeing other people!? Id be hurt... Real hurt!

Just an observation!

Laters! Work time

How many C4 owners does it take to screw in a light bulb?

answer: 14......1 to screw it in and 13 to tell him to take it out of the plastic first.

Sorry It was there.. I had to take the shot.. low hanging fruit and all.

Go ahead call me names..its ok.. I deserve it. Dbag, gawking old fart..its all good. the joke was reaching critical mass and I had to defuse it.

Carry on

If you read and search I'm bashing to ones that are asking BS questions, liars, trolls and the ones with multiple profiles. I love to help legit problems. I hate few axxjoles have made the C4 forum a "troll hobby". One of these axxjoles is using other guy's pictures.

Now, this thread is a customer service issue from a former supporting vendor. How would you feel if you order Corvette Wheels from me (CF supporting vendor), you sent the money, five weeks go by and you have no idea, no response, no tracking number and you feel ignored!!

Do you remember my rotors thread? I've been there!! The thread actually made it to the Company's VP and they refunded the money.

Yes, Dan made us laugh by trying to install the HID light with the protective cap on but, that is a different issue.

Just like the time I was asking "what the heck is SBC?" and I already knew about it. duh!

I got nothing against you, Corvette HID and anyone in here but, I love to express my thoughts.

You are cordially invited to our C4 run.

The bad rap came before the buyer even had the parts.

The bad rap was from non-delivery.

“Service” was supplied after the problem was made public.

I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again...this is why I LOVE this place!!!! Always learning something new..always getting a good laugh..and usually getting to see cool pics. I do agree with Dan that instructions should have been included because I'm the same way with things like that. I read and re-read instructions so I don't mess things up the first time. I'd like to see pics of the final install and the resulting brightness of the HID fogs because it's something I've been debating about doing.

astepup said that

p.s. You guys DID notice that I finally got IBTL on yet another thread of somewhat, at times, questionable content? I RULE!!!!!

Are the ABS lights LED?

Would this be due to your C6 Z06 new calipers mod?

Nah I think its due to the large variance in tire diameter between front and rear...

I was going to ask why they have a manky urine sample cup as part of the design?


Instructions or no, this is still definitely the place to go for help. There's probably a good write-up already on HId installs

Before & after pics please!
