Originally i was going for the actuall aspec version of the NBP painted headlights. But since that chrome is wicked sensitive i was forced to paint more of the turn signal area than i originally wanted too. But since i had too i also decided to smoke the amber corners at the same time.



stock vs. modded


test fit to make sure all the lights swapped over worked. Also replaced the turn signals with some silverstar chrome bulbs that blink orange, in order to take away some of that amber glow the stock ones give off.


finished product. Definatly looks a lot meaner now. Also relocated the ballests of my HID fogs to the sides instead of directly under the headlight ballests since it was blocking the bolts needed to undo the headlights.

 

nice work

 

That shit is bangin son.

 

pic 3 kinda looks like an r32 skyline.


i want to do this mod but not too sure how it would look on DEP

Nice! But it reminds me of the Impala:

 

Nice love the look..

 

looks very nice. how many k are your hid in the fog lights ? got any pics with them on

 

awesome

 

They are 3000K. I'll pm you some pics

 

Nice. I should have tinted my ambers too.

 

Pimpin man straight Pimpin!

 

looks pretty sickk

 

looks real nice man

better get those headlights off the pillows before mom or the wife has a titty attack lol

 

nice! i would have lost the amber completely but to each is own

 

got any suggestions on taping the chrome part so it wont get damaged or get painted over?
the chrome is hekka sensitive, i don't even thinking masking tape would do the job....

 

Very nice work.

 

Very nice! good job!

 

Weaken the adhesive on the tape by repeatedly applying and removing each piece from a clean table surface. This prevents the tape from lifting the chrome.

Ideally, thin translucent dispenser tape (not wide scotch tape) would be the best, but it is hard to work with around the edges. Masking tape is good here, however, it leaves some residue on the chrome when it is removed. I don't believe the clear plastic tape would have any problems with this.

Also, adhere the tape only surrounding the borders. There is no need to let the tape stick to portions within.

 

i LOVE it, and thanks for the tips, had my own method, still worked

 

Looks great. also look for the 3m Green masking tape. It may work better than the blue

 

Great work! The car looks awesome, take some more pics.

 

very nice!

 

Looks GREAT!!!!!

Are you blacking out the door handles as well??

Lou

 

Don't know about the door handles yet, so far i'm liking the chrome accent but we'll see what happens after i put on some gunmetal rims and drop it next spring/summer.

Will be taking more pics as soon as i get it back from having that crappy door trip tape taken off and painted NBP and all the side pillars are getting replaced since i finnaly found a dealer that would do it for a very resonable price. I didn't feel like dealing with painting since the temps are dropping here so no more painting for the seaeson.
