btw thanks hiep, I only need it for this one time cut, i dont think i need to cut anything else on my car, If the rent cost more then ill just buy one hope the 30$ one actually last long enough for the whole process to be done. anyone else have one laying around before i go out and hunt for one?

When I converted to ap1 tails I used a battery powered sawzaw to make most of the cuts then went back with dremel to make it cleaner. Ps don't forget the touch up paint for the metal you cut behind tail lights or it'll rust. Goodluck.

^^^ Totally agree it all depends on the color of your car. The guy I traded with had a silverstone and my ap2 taillights looked money on his car. The silver ring in the ap2s matched his car nicely.
