I can't believe it!
UPS delivered my newly cleared headlights today.
A day early on a holiday weekend, UPS FTW!
That means I'll get my car back tonight.
I took a quick peak and they look great.
I'll post a pic after I put them back on.

Yes, I have all my 4 sets out for the trade in program as we speak.

This is what I have so far from some of the members.


1) Fiore8072 : ZKW replicas, Anthracite paint and CF pieces.
2) chefmaurod : SSM Paint
3) trojanman10984 : ZKW replicas
4) Black0ut : CCFLs and ZKW replicas.

JnC,

I've been admiring your work for quite some time. Is it possible to mail some Base TL '08 headlights to be blacked-out? I would like them partially blacked-out as you posted on version 1 with both bezel rings left silver and the fog light opening left chrome where as the turn signal is painted completely black:

http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/2922/dscn3001iq1.jpg

On the 2008 lights they would look like cKhyper's with the turn signal painted completely black.

Thanks,
Danny

Yup, that would be partially blacked out version 1, where I paint everything black beside the silver bezels and the chrome strip across the turn signal. Would you be shipping your headlights to me or do you want to do the trade in program?

usaf2008 and BoBByLiGhT83 I added both of you for the trade in program to the list.

Huyster1-- Blacked out
ThePunisher2099 - Blacked out/ ZKW replicas/ CCFLs
IncaPower-- Blacked out
fiore8072--Colormatched/Carbon Fiber/ZKW replica
bone420TL--Blacked out (V1)
fokkerfitch83-- Blacked out (V2)a
chefmaurod-- Colaormatched SSM/Cleared
trojanman10984--blacked out/zkw replica/ccfls
Black0ut-- Blacked out/ZKW/CCFL
BoBByLiGhT83-- Blacked out
usaf2008: Cleared

2007-08 (base)
Cdan

I have taken off JCL622, Bearcat94 and Jingy08 from the list, if either of you guys want to get back on the list I'll hold your spot. I know jingy has mentioned that he has roughed up headlights, jingy if you want to send your headlights in I can resurface the lens for you but you would have to send the headlights in.


I am working on Huyster1's blacked out headlights right now and they will be done by tomorrow eve, after that Fiore and so on and so forth, I am still waiting on parts from other people on the list.

Your partially blacked-out version 1 description sounds perfect. I would be shipping the headlights to you and parking the car for a bit. How do we work the shipping, timeframes, etc.? Also, do you know of any good links describing how to remove the headlights? I saw one link that required the front bumper to be removed (S-Type).

Time frames depend on transit time and that in turn depends on the method you choose to ship headlights to and from me. If I get a set today I can usually ship it the very next day after doing the work.

Here is a DIY on removing the headlights and bumper. If you know your way around a 10 mm socket, flat and Phillips head screwdriver then it should take you an hour or so to remove both the headlights.

Let me know when you are ready to ship them and I'll PM you my address

Thanks for the link! I can ship them by this weekend. I'm new to AZ and don't know how to send PMs -I'm guessing I can receive them via the AZ reply emails.

Shipping address request

The PM section of my account hasn't been activated yet.
JnC: Could you email me your shipping info? dcrouch@broadcom.com
What type of shipping insurance would you recommend and how do people typically pay for return shipment and the Blacked out/cleared $150?

JnC please email me at usairforcesparky@aol.com. I need to know what I need to do in order to get these lights done and when. I need to know how to pay you, etc and a timeframe for all of this.

Hey JnC has all my stuff arrived yet? I know either the CF or CCFL's arrived on the 2nd and the other should have arrived sometime this week too. Just not sure with the ZKW reps because i never heard back from the vendor after sending payment. Thanks

Cdan and Usaf, I sent both of you emails and yes labor is $150 plus you take care of shipping charges that I'd endure to send headlights back to you.

Agent0r, I just emailed the vendor for update on your set along with a couple of more that have been paid for, also I did get CF last week but not sure if it was from you or Fiore, I guess it was your CF that came in and not Fiores. I have left Nick(fiore) a message to check when to expect his CF coming in.

Sry for the delay, I was waiting to get her all cleaned up for the day shots. Unfortunately I waxed her to and its difficult not to get any glare. I took 25 pics and I think these are the best.

Check with Msala to see where he got the kit from, as far as I know he got it from AACstyle and its the Oracle kit. This kit is VERY hard to install since the rings are a bit larger than the OEM shroud. If you can get the kit then yes we sure can get it done .
