Show me your pictures of modified Taillights and Headlights. Need Ideas

 

only 'modded' headlights i've seen are those that are custom painted/cleared.

only 'modded' tail lights i've seen are those that are tinted.

 

 

holy crap you mean no one in the 2nd gen forum has those awesome altezzas?

I think there's some OLD pictures of Ronjon's old car where he had a strip of vinyl going through half of the light in a crescent shape. It gave off the same kind of look that Benzes had. I didn't like it though =/ cause it didn't look right.

 

doesn't someone have projector headlights retro'd?

 

Here's mine...




Painted and "smoked" diffusers.

 

What is it you used to paint the inside reflectors Helmet? I can't tell in the pictures, but do they reflect when you have the blinkers on?

 

Silverstar turn bulbs
Tint on Sidemarkers (now removed)
Tint on added 01 Roadlamps (now removed)
Roadlamps now have Yellow PIAA bulbs

 

The diffusers are actually tinted with a window film and I can't remember the percentage I used. The blinkers are above that, the diffuser section (tinted part on bottom) is just a non-blinking parking light. As for the inside of the blinker section (top part) being painted, it looks just fine when blinking in the day light and at night. Actually, at night, if you notice it, it looks a bit stealthy when the lights are on.

Here's a shot with the lights on...

 

CLEAR!!!






I have an 01, but with 03 tails (only "mod" I've made to the tails other than bulbs)

 

^^^^

Those headlights look sharp...i think i might actually do that to mine...how hard was it to do?

 

Hi,
How you do it? I mean did you cleared the head or you buy new ones? Very nice job! Same questions for road lights!

 

What did you use to tint your taillights its nice, and what did you use to paint the emblem

 

rockblocker tint, and sanded and spraypainted the badge.

 

It wasn't that hard, it was pretty time consuming, especially because I lived on the 27th floor of a downtown apartment building at the time. that and I had to stop in the middle to go get some better tools.

Here's a link to the DIY that I used. EDIT: LOL, I can't post a direct link to the DIY on this forum j/k but if you go here: www.ccannizzaro.com/projectsmain.html there is a link to the DIY near the bottom of the page. Only I didn't use the oven to bake mine, I tried but my oven sucked, so I used a hairdryer to soften the seal.

 

Thanks! See the post above. I cleared them myself.

As for the road lights, I didn't do anything to those except change the bulbs to PIAA's.

 

I'm thinking i'm too big of a pussy to pull my headlights apart...maybe i can find another set and attempt it...lol...

looks good nonetheless

 

That what I thought before I did it. But just take the leap, it's not hard.

 

you cant really screw up......its 2 big puzzle pieces. The hardest part for me was taking off the bumper. The oven does not get hot enough to melt anything but the sealer.

 

 

i recently put them back to stock but I might put the tint back on

 

and the road lamps

 

def. better pictures are needed. otherwise your car looks really stealth. I like it

what mufflers are those?

 

those look like magnaflow mufflers. im digging the blacked out look. but u should retint ur rear window and cover the 3rd brake light.

 

sorry camera phone... my digital is broke for now...they are magnaflow 14832's axleback

 

Your lights look wicked tinted like that. If only my CL was black!



Sorry no modded tailights, only some morning dew on them.

check out my plate frame, I think that would look pretty straight on your car.

Got it at pepboys for like $20 and its very sturdy. I switch plate frames around often, got a comptech one, got that one, got a couple of Miami Hurricane ones.

 

TCM 01 CL-S - is that a comptech exhaust? those tips look nice, anymore pictures?

 

Stock exhaust, when I bought the car the the stock tips were dented in, so the dealer (carmax) put those nice new tips on for me. I've been wanting to know what kind they are because they really set off the back of the car and my friends want them.

Some Pixs:





I could take some close ups tommorow if you'd like.

 

nice i didnt know there were updated tips. thanks for the pictures, those are pretty good.
