Nice dude, def see the condensation, glad you fixed it. And you need to make your corners match, other than that looks hot as hell

What kind of paint did you use? I'm thinking of doing mine as well as my calipers, think I can use the same paint for projects?

i obviously want to slam it. k sport coils are looking pretty affordable. but at the same time, after seeing what happened to your car silver, i'm thining of pro-kitking it. either way that won't be until the spring so i have some time to decide.

another way to seperate the lens from the housing is to put the whole head light in a garbage bag and submerge it in a hot bath.

not a bad idea. putting it in the oven seems pretty safe though. i had them in there at around 300 for like 15 min or so with no problems.
