Gentlemen, so it's that time of the year again when UPS boxes just "start showing up". . .anyway, ordered some headlight tint film and bought Berti's front lip while I wait for another one from Gary and decided to install both over the weekend. . . I used Laminex - one word of caution - don't forget that the 63 front ends have different fog lights and the kits for the 63 and 55 are the same EXCEPT for the fog lights (once I remembered had to order the foglights separately and they will be here some time next week)

Here's the tools I used for the headlight film (film pre-cut, heat gun, spray bottle and shaping tool came with the film and a blade to cut):




Here's the difference between the film and no film (I went with the lightest tint)




All done. . .

I love you car man, always have, and I will admit to a tad of color blindness, but I can't tell what I'm supposed to be looking at. What am I missing?

Which front lip is that? I kinda think the Suvneer one is to massive and like the smaller e55 style look which that one seems to look like.

That's actually perfect!!!!!!! (I didn't want anything too drastic - the change is that I "tinted" the headlights with a 6% film - in the first two pictures of the car in the garage, (when looking at the car from your screen) the left two lights and the city light on the right are all "tinted" while the main headlight on the right still hadn't been done. The bottom pics have all four lights done. It's definitely subtle but gives a more "sinister" look in person. . .

Gary actually carries all three (the one that's on there now is one of his and the one I'm waiting for is more angular and dramatic (it's on Evolved 8's car).

Thanks guys - I'm digging it so far. . .

As to the Mc D's - ohhhhh yeah - that was my special "FU" to Clayton and Marcus and all the comments on my choice of yellow lettering (Its all in good fun from both sides. . .there's something that may be here by summer in the wheel department and they were done with that in mind, not my current set up

I think black calipers and red lettering would look great (Audi does something similar with black calipers!!!!!!!!!!

Looks good. Do the lights on the mirrors as well.

i love the look too and had everything tinted for over a year but just buffed off my headlight tint. mine was pretty light, just enough to take away from the stark contrast of the chrome. i took it off because whether you want to admit it or not, even the lightest tint noticeably reduces light output. the difference on a dark road was significant and it was embarrassing when hondas with blue bulbs had better light output!

Wow! You ever think about blacking out your chrome trim?

Where did you get it from? Does it provide UV protection?
