The only part that I'm questioning at all is the assembly/disassembly/baking and the painting part. I just haven't dealt with that before.

LEDs are easy in my book. I've done a lot of wiring/rewiring/soldering in my day.

Uhh huh!

Glad to see you all are enjoying yourself. Also when the headlights get done looks like I will add black fangs to the list, TX did you say once you had a shop that could do it? Hoping to do vinyl overlay for now to see if I like it, can your shop do that?

I will probably leave the rear valence along since I have the fog light back there.

The shop is Sunrise paint and body. They will paint the fangs and rear valence for $160. Not sure about adding the vinyls though.

I still want to black mine out, i am still debating about the fangs because i like them so much and this seems to be a growing trend. Why change if everyone does.... then it just seems like going from stock to a newer version of stock.

Everyone is doing it, per say, but I think the black headlights with the black fangs might compliment nicely, especially with PG. Though since I am doing headlights first it will give me a chance to see how they headlights look and if I want to contiune it, plus vinyl is reversible.

And I am home finally, and awake. Great trip up to Dallas meeting again Caravan, Vipor & Mech. All the headlights turned out great, and the trip was well worth it. Currently no night time pictures but will try to get some soon. Now the important part, pictures:

Glad you like it Dreamer, certainly was a long day, lol. :tup:

theDreamer 04-25-2010 11:25 AM

It definitely was, and I had a nice ride home...will explain more later.

Caravanshaka 04-25-2010 11:35 AM

uh oh, I told you not to get a ticket =P

JB-370z 04-25-2010 11:38 AM

These look great!!! To bad I don't have the time for installs like these:( I will have to send mine out to the pro's at some point. Might have them done at the same time my car goes to Sam @ GTM for turbo install. Knock out two birds with one stone. I cannot wait to see them in person! Looks like yall did a high quality job! I am jellous now....

theDreamer 04-25-2010 11:43 AM

It does take a bit of time.
I arrived in Dallas around 7 and we started to take my car apart and slowly worked on them until about 10-11. The next day was prep and then paint which was the easiest part, and then putting them all back together. Overall I think the estimate of about 8 hours from taking them off the car to putting them back on is about right.
