    Congratulations on the beautiful videos you give us. One question, have you checked if the hot glue remains in its original state under the sun at high temperatures?

    • @arcgarage
      @arcgarage  3 роки тому +2

      Thank you for support. The use of hot glue here is minimal, and I use the one with higher melting point so sun heat is not an issue...

    Hello boss. This looks amazing! You did a really good job at making it look perfect. I would like to do this to my mk5 golf. Do you remember the diameter of the clear plastic you cut out to fit in the taillight perfect. Thanks if you can help!!
