Installed these Opt7 turn signals without having to remove the bumper. It wasn't hard at all.

^^^ Should have drained it into an appropriate small measuring cup that has 1/2 oz graduations. I get 3/4 to 1 oz per 1000 miles on my 2015 GT. Got the same UPR catch-can.

Hope you can get some video of the windshield replacement ... would like to see how it's done by the pros.

Man you are right, I thought about the measuring cup right after i filmed it. I am going to give it about 3k this time and drain into a measuring cup.

I was thinking of doing a video of that and figured no one would want to see it. lol it was actually really cool how they cut the old one out. They pushed a thin wire through in the drivers side bottom corner, wrapped it around the outer lip of the windshield and then hooked it onto a apparatus that suctioned cupped to the inside of the windshield. Then they turned a crank and puled the wire through the urethane holding the windshield in place. Then just lifted the old one out. tried to explain the best i could. also goes to show you never can tell what people may be interested in seeing. :headbang:

^^^ Nice turn signal upgrade, but damn they are pricey at ~$190. Like that they have built in resistors so the turn signal audio click is like factory.

True but you can sign up for the news letter and get like a 10% discount on their site. :cheers: still worth it in my opinion because they look awesome and i love the way they function.

^^^ I have the best luck using touch-up paint that doesn't need a clear coat. Your touch-up probably would have matched better without adding the clear. Also, I buff out just by hand using something like Mequire's Ultimate Compound and Ultimate Polish so no danger of burning through the clear coat.

I actually used this touch up without clear on a small place on my bumper before i got the clear bra installed and it was darker. I sent a picture to dr. Color chip and they mixed another one and it looked to be exactly the same as the first when i tried it. I just figured their mix was a little off and it wasn't going to get any better. The paint pen from Ford actually matched better when I took my sample paper with both paints out into the sun the next day. So i should have used that instead.
I have done this with and without clear a few times on other cars i've had using the 3000 grit and then buffer. I knew i was close on my last sanding time but was comfortable going a little more because i figured if i burned through the dent would still have to be fix and panel painted/blended later anyway. I know you didn't ask for a long explanation, but i felt like explaining a little. :cheers:
