real quick: it looks like you painted the inside of the reflector housing for the highbeam. has this affected your highbeam's performance at all?

They look great. How about a write up?

What type of paint did you use on them?

They look sick but I am also concerned about the following:

You need to take off the entire front bumper to do this?!?! Looks like I'm going to pass, haha, I don't think I would be that capable of doing it myself.

Also, I agree with the above posters... It looks like you have painted the reflectors around the highbeams...

You dont need RTV but i used black anyways. They will seal themselves back up with the old stuff as you dont lose any.

Yes i painted the high beam reflector and im sure i will loose some performance, but I really was going to have a hard time taping it off as it is an odd shape.
Bumper removal is easy...like everything else, its just nuts and bolts....

Good Deal Brother! Think about what you may charge me to do mine one of these weekends?

Arjy

i just wanted to make sure you were aware of what you did! good luck with the reinstall.

i started to do this mod (I had the headlights out and was about to bring them in to start baking them but then i had an epiphany and decided i didnt like the blacked out headlight look on a black car! all that work for nothing.

Wow they look great on the car...i will post some pics when i get it back in the garage, we are going out for dinner with some friends, but it looks sharp!

SCguy08

Woah man, Hotel..those look awesome. What your basically saying is that I should have come to NC so I could have done mine at the same time right..? haha.

xXHotelCrazyXx

Better hurry, I'm moving to mississippi soon!

ZeroSeVen

HotelCrazy you can start a business doing this

Looks a lot of work with no margin of error allowed (especially in the baking process)

snarlingchicken

Looks great! But I personally would have used some black chrome paint for the high beam portion so that I can still get SOME reflectiveness out of the housing :3 But mannnn that looks mean. Depending on the price/turnaround time, I'd definitely be interested if this became a business

My car is leased, but I am 90% sure I will buy it out at the end. My question is, if I don't, is it possible to remove the paint somehow. Or could I repaint it "chrome" or silver with any success? I guess worst comes to worst I can always sell it for a straight swap?

xXHotelCrazyXx

Here is a shot of final assembly, will get some proper photos soon! Notice chrome trim around fog light painted as well!

If its a lease im not sure if i would do anything to it until I owned it.

Looks good. Great job. Baking open is the easy part, it's making sure it's properly sealed that gets tricky. Nothing worse than condensation on inside.

I'm still toying with the idea of opening mine up, but I'd wrap the inside with CF.
