Can you believe I just tore the whole front end of my car apart and pulled out my headlights. I was going to bake them and black them out on the inside. My headlights do not fit inside my oven. This sucks. I guess I have to go find a heat gun.

First light apart and painting.

You get your Amuze wing yet?

Dozier

11-22-2013 08:53 AM

Still waiting. Contacted them yesterday. Said they were sanding it for paint. So I hope it will be painted by this weekend, and possibly shipped next week if that makes sense? I am just glad I don't have a time frame that it "has to be" on the car in. I mean, since you bought my Nismo wing and won't be back until February, it give a pretty lax time frame of when I need my new wing.

Glad I could be of some help. ;)

in regards to doing the box method, how long did you put the heat into the cardboard box with the gun, I'm looking to do a custom paint on the fronts for ours. I know my oven will fit it, but was thinking about the heat gun and box idea. Thanks.

I put them in a box one at a time in indirect heat. Make sure the heat is not blowing directly on the lens of the headlights. Have it blow across the top of the head light by several inches. You need plenty of room at the top of the box for the air stream to pass over the light. I set a timer for 20 minutes. It was the perfect amount of time for the headlights sealant to be pliable. I had no problem taking it apart and I did not break anything.

This is one fast build!

Always something about officers modding cars, just makes it that much more interesting.

My buddies dad owns like 18 ATM machines .. ridiculous how much money can be made from something people don't even think about.

Beautiful car! Love the red/black, especially the headlights!

Today was a big fail on my end. Received my Amuse rep wing from Aerojacket. Decided to attempt to install this thing. Took about two hours to remove the Nismo wing. Was an absolute pain in the ***. After that, I attempted to install the Amuse wing. Unfortunately, the holes don't line up. Also with that said, they are not symmetrical either. Meaning they are not the same spacing from center to right as they are from center to left. I am very disappointed. I attempted to take a template of the wing's bolt holes and see if I could lay the template on the hatch to drill holes. I am not very comfortable with this process. There are many holes to drill. I am not sure at this point what I am going to do.

Take it to a reputable shop?

Dozier

Yup. That's the plan.

Beautiful build! When you plastidipped your emblems and side markers, did you only use the matte black or did you add glossifier as well?
