I'm having second thoughts on Blackening the housing. I'm not sure if It'll turn out the way I want it to be. Haha. I just don't want it to look too aggressive! How's white? Would anybody be able to photoshop one on a red Z pleasse :[

^^^ for a red Z I would definitely recommend doing a matte black or sating black. It will match your windows especially if you have black interior. It will match your grill, and your black rims if you get them powdercoated!

Oh sweet! Show me the difference when I get there alright? I want to make sure everything works out. My tint apparently has to come off. Diamond Tint film is starting to come up with bubbles on the edges. REFUND!

For sure!!

If you want to see one right now, here is a picture of both matte and satin side by side. Satin has the glossy finish, while matte is a flat finish.

Personally, I like the matte black better

Plus, when the headlight is put back together the clear headlight lens gives it a gloss look!

Got mine back last nite... working on putting them in now and taking a break.
They look absolutely fantastic.

Thanks Marco and best wishes to Ryan and his family.

Marco_xyz · 12-18-2009, 02:35 PM

^^^ Can't wait to see the picsss!!

I don't know much technical info about LED's but I'vd heard they are sensitive to temperature. I hear for lighting in a home environment they are fine because the temp is pretty stable, but on cars there is a big varience. I think Audi has had some problems with thiers going out although I don't know how the size or type compared to what you guys use. But they are an OEM so you'd think they have thier crap together (although VW electronics don't have the best rep lol).

How were the LED's selected on your kit, are they rated a certain way that makes them better for automotive use or for various temps? How long are they expected to last? I'm just asking because it looks good and I know I'll be interested at some point. I had LED angel eyes on my M3 for about a year and they were fine.

Thank you for all your questions while I was out of town. Looking forward to doing business with you. PM Sent.

His brother is funny too. I think he was downloading porn the whole time I was there, he seemed WAY TOO happy

Marco, the Wifey, and I yesterday morning went down to handle some business we checked up on your ride. It's in good hands beautiful car Adam. Drove back to San Diego, the same night. Followed by a customer all-nighter headlight installation. Hope Marco's doing okay we both have not slept for almost 1 week. BTW your headlights are in good hands. Looking forward to seeing your creation complete. Traffic was a pita.

If you look closely you will see the spokes and wheel imprint of my rims on the tree.. picture was taken by police officer

Plus, my car is going to need a clear bra

That photo is heartbreaking I trully miss flipncelica. It's accidents like this that only make us stronger in life. My roll over taught me so much you never know how cautious of driver you can be especially in the rain. We share so many moments these are the ones that I wish can be erased forever. I'm am very thankful to god you are here brother and not giving up the dream. It's nice to see how far you've accomplished over the years we've known one another. Once you get the you can't go wrong, Clear bra indeed was my best investment by far. My clear bra practically held my bumper together when I hit a tire on the highway. It would've exploded without it.

+rep coming to the first to black out the insides of the JDM tails...Ive been wanting to do that ever since I saw em, would look ridiculous with matching black head lights

And on a side note >>>MR works does awesome work but more importantly their communication and customer service sets them apart from the pack IMO. They get my endorsement all day long! keep up the good work fellas!

TY Jeremy stay posted we have been cranking night and day. A whole lot more to come.

Good Morning Andrew, thank you for your patience. You're never late for the party lol.

I pray everything will be okay with him and his family, and I am trying to followup with everyone which is why I messaged you last night that he won't be able to get back to you til he gets back in town.

^^^Marco you are the best brother in the world! Thanks for answering my PM's while I was out.

Thanks Joe, Grandpa is still in ICU we are praying for his recovery.

And my headlights are still installed, so it's not like I'm powerless to drive my car while I wait

Hi Andrew thanks for all the info. Marco has been doing a great job replying back to everyones messages I'm greatful to have such a great partner and thank you for understanding what my entire family is going through. I'm the first generation Grandson born from my Grandpa so he means the world to me and 50 others of my family members. That's just half not including the children. Without him their would be no me. I'm praying this Christmas all we all want is him to be around for his 60th wedding anniversary. It's really sad spending every day in a hospital. He's been their for 1 month in ICU still.

Side note: Some great news. Just the other night Marco drove his truck and we brought tools to personally escort a local member to do some installation work we completed his vehicle at Midnight. Photo's to come. Once we set our deadlines we meet them always.

Black goes well with everything IMO. But if you have some custom idea you'd like please pm us and we'll mock up your idea's.

Thanks again everything! Glad to be back home for the holidays!

phelan · 12-22-2009, 04:25 PM

For the record: Marco held the fort pretty well. And Ryan, god DAMN, go write a book or something. These multi-PM responses are nuts!

In all honesty, I appreciate these guys for working with me. I've got my own design and they're definitely willing to help me out and determine what's possible and what's just insane. Major

from me (whatever that's worth hahahaa)!

theDreamer · 12-22-2009, 04:26 PM
