Cleared Headlights and Painted Grill

Spent a few hours this last weekend clearing my headlights and painting my grill. I plan on lowering ASAP then getting new wheels. Sorry for the small pics but i tried resizing them and re downloading to Flickr but can' t get it to upload correctly.

Thanks for all the comments! I really want to lower it ASAP!!! I'm either going with bags or coilovers.... but I'm leaning more towards coilovers so I can get new rims sooner

I also figured out how to post bigger pics....

Thanks bro! I've been checking it out, but haven't seen another meet forming yet? We should try and put one together. I'm sure there would be a few people that would be down.

Thank you kind sir! I still have a ways to go before it's where I want it to be though! I just got done installing some VLED switch backs, and I must say it looks better then I thought it would, they match my HID fogs and headlights perfect! You are correct! I don't see too many MBP's around.

MBP represent. The car looks spectacular. Its nice to see an MBP clean, without ugly 20inch rims, like the rest of them in the picture thread. Lol, u can't even get inspiration from that. Btw, how long did it take to do just the headlights?

Thanks Man! I'm going to get some 19" silver rims with a chrome lip and i'm going to lower it this weekend to complete the look

Clearing the lights and painting grill took me about 6 hours, including removing and reinstalling the bumper and grill. If you decide to clear your lights I would suggest buying the nissan rubber butyl it worked like a charm!

Some people also like Function & Form coilovers as well, it lays your car to the ground not sure if that's what you want though since u have to get in and out of downtown seattle.

I was looking at form and functions but wasn't sure about the ride quality? after reviewing a bunch of threads it seems like Tein would still keep the ride somewhat comfortable and still be able to drop it. I'd like to lay frame, but you know as well as I do Downtown can be a bitch to get around... especially if i'm slammed! I'll probably go with a moderate drop like 2-3 inches, and level the car out,

@ Jcharged, good looking bro!

How do you like the ride on your Tein SS? I read the thread... so is it pretty much spot on?

Just upload your pics to Flicker, etc. then right click the picture go to properties and copy the URL and place it in between: [img]the URL of your pic here[/img] and thats it. Just preview it first to make sure you did it right before posting.
