It's basically like vacuum molding, but instead of removing pressue from inside the plastic bag, you apply pressue on the outside of the bag by submerging it in water; sort of like a low tech, reversed, hydroforming. Not as effective as vacuum molding but works better when you need to hold the shape for an extended period (like overnight) as sometimes vacuum don't always hold unless you heat seal the bag. I would probably do a combo of vacuum and water for best result.

So I'm a newbie when it comes to posting pictures on here. Any tips? Anyways my Joey mod can be seen here.
I want to post them on here, but got fed up with the size thing. Like I said, a newbie and its late.
I did mine on a justacooper, which I have not seen many pics of this mod done on them. It was fun, gave the car a new look and the mods are slowly coming along nicely. Thanks!

I know the easiest way is to upload the pics to photobucket (cuz there it can auto resize them for you)....800 is a good width for these forums
But from any souce you should be able to copy the link, and place it in an IMG code...surround the code IMG with these brackets [] and then place the link, then end with this code /IMG placed in brackets

Thanks Checkercoop for the that wonderful bit of advice!!!
So please disregard my previous post. Here is my standard Joey Mod on Non-Xenons and on a CR/B R56 Justacooper.
If you desire more picks of the whole process I have plenty more, just did not want to take up a lot of room. Thanks guys for giving me the cuts to try this mod!

The Joey Mod!!!...whoops...I mean car post-headlight removal
Yes...I did bake the headlights at 250 for 5 minutes, or until golden brown...
Finished painting, time for reassembly...
Finished product...plastic lenses reflect to much

Hey guys, I cannot seem to find an answer anywhere. Is there anyway to replace that amber reflector in both the headlight and taillight. What options do I have. Can I just remove the amber lens, or is there a clear lens I can replace it with or do I have to buy whole new housings.
#169
Yes you can buy the clear lenses and replace them yourself (while you are at the headlight you might as well do the joey mod )....it just pops out once you have unseal the lens and removed it...the tailight I'm not 100% sure on tho, but I do think the lens is held in my screws??? I would check with others on how to disassemble the tails, but the good news is no need for new housing

Joey Mod How-To-Do
Ok, so I have posted on this topic alot in the last two days. I completed a .pdf of the how to on how i did my Joey Mod. I know there is a similar one running around out there, including the first post, but I tried to incorporate as many pictures as possible. It was a fast put together and there may be typos. If this helps one person I'll be happy. Enjoy and get busy moding!
If anyone has the link to the post with the other Joey Mod pdf let me know. I did a quick search but no luck. I figured it would be good to have 1 post with as much info as possible
Thanks for all the comments as well!

I used the bit off of a screw drive (the type you insert into the handle) as a spacer to align the light. I got one light the way I wanted and jerry-riged a spacer. Loosen the lights just enough to where you can wiggle them with the bonnet down but they dont slip. I found that if you keep the very top back bolt tight you can have the rest really loose to help you move it. Anyone else have any good ideas?
