it was done at Custom Coach Works in San Antonio and the price was more than $500 but less than $1000 but the headlights is where the money went to.


the eyelids were tinted but the main lens remained clear

And I was like WTF its gonna be worth it lol

notice the white mixed in with the black to add a lil something to it

Just curious how did you manage to cover the hole of your front plate holder?

Nice job on the head lamps I hope you won't get any moisture inside it when it rains hard.

I had the bumper painted to get rid of the holes and the lights were reheated and stuck back together perfect seal so no worries. And the wheels are 19's GT1's 8.5 and 9.5

The headlamps look great! And I see a razor blade next to the dismantled assembly. Must have been the secret weapon.

Man...I just saw this. Nice! Can the non bi-xenon lights be painted this way, or do we need the chrome backing for reflection? I haven't looked that closely at them yet.

question
How did they get the headlamp apart. I can see clamps on mine. Is it also sealed with a glue or something.
