Lights are done. Considerably less "thick" than the pictures above indicate. I will try and take some pictures today - they came out awesome. These guys really went above and beyond. Don't want to go too much into pricing but I assure you it was extremely inexpensive for what I got which was:

-Baking two sets of headlights

-complete paint strip/repaint of housings and shrouds including disassembly/reassembly of "boomerangs (no chrome visible anywhere). While attempting to remove dust (and a Nismo dog hair) from my lights, the paint began to flake. Daedalus tells me you need to wet sand the chrome, then 4-5 coats of paint before install. Otherwise you will see paint flaking over time due to the heat generated by the headlights as the plastic chrome does not hold paint well.

-Chromed blinker bulbs (only amber when active)

-LED halo ring running lights

-Sealant mess clean-up on both the lights themselves and the vehicle.

-Part-out of salvage lights. They even went so far as to tape each individual screw to its corresponding hole one-by-one. I mean, who does this?

They're using my car in an advertisement some time this week :3
Pics to follow.

Edit: Oh I should also mention they did all of this in less than 48 hrs and they work weekends. Would have been less than 24 except I made a huge mess with that sealant (lol) and they had to spend an additional 4-5 hrs carefully paint stripping the housings.
