Default Autoshop costs for clearingcorners

How much would it cost me to take my xB to an autodetailing shop and have them clear my corners for me approximatly?

first i dont think most shops will do this for you, something like this they probably couldnt guarantee that it would work properly but i dunno.

2nd if they would do it for you, you could probably afford to buy new headlights with the money you are paying them.

and finally if you really dont want to try this yurself, id say find a buddy whos done it before maybe he can help ya.

get off your lazy butt - 5 min
get a 10mm socket, and long screwdriver - 30 sec
partially remove front bumper - 15 mon
remove headlights and bulbs- 2 min
stick screwdriver in blinker hole, and pry on reflector untill it breaks - 2 min
reassembly - 22 min
p.s. i will do it for 1/2 of what any autoshop quotes you, just send me the headlights in a box with return postage paid.
