Well the title pretty much says what I did... Ive been plannin on doin them for some time..never had the time till today.... my GF was studyin for her paralegal exam... So I thought I'd touch up the TL a bit... I started around 1030ish..took a lunch break around 1230..con't around 115 or so and finished around 200.. so took about 3 hrs to do....

I decided not to take the amber lenses out .. just thought I'd keep it somewhat stock....

Here some pics of my progess... comments welcome...

I might also do my gf's 08 altima coupe as you can see in the lower portion of the 1st pic... what you guys think?




1st one done... 1 more to go..






quick snap of the 3.5se cpe.


Thanks....

Hmm seems unique. Looks good but you need to get pics from farther away as well so we can see the whole TL with it

BTW-nice coupe..didnt know those were aready out Does it sound like a G35/350z(exhaust note)?

how come you didn't remove the amber reflector and paint behind that black?
practicality over aesthetics?

What did you do exactly?

Eoanou

Yeah it looks like you tinted the lights.

Ballinfizzle89: thanks yeah I ill take better pics when i can... as far as the cpe...they've been out for about 2-3mos now... We were one of the 1st to get a white on black V6 cpe in so cal.. it does somewhat sound like a z/g35.. it has the same engine..only difference is FWD...... got her July 15th...

Bforbrian: I wanted to keep the reflector, but I did paint the plastic behind it. I didnt want to have the look where you can just see the bulb with a black housing....

Vmtsquad:... Im not sure what your askin, but if you look at the pics... you can see the difference between the one thats painted and non painted... there are other DIY's into what design you choose to do with your headlights some mbrs choose to take the amber out... I decided on what i did... Hope this helps...

Naww.. I didn't tint any at all..its just looks like that cause of the housing thats painted black behind it....

Hmmm well what you could have done is painted the fog/HID part black and left the turn signal part untouched. Would look good as well

should of cleared the headlights. would look sex

Eoanou

Can you get some pics of it from further away at eye level, I'm sure it would look a bit better.

oo nice job and nice coupe.. was gonna get that car but thought wasnt worth the money $30k for a v6 but thought if i spend 4k more i can get a TL my dad was like why not lol

TL_moda

how long did it take you to remove the bumpers and headlight?

darksom1

Looks clean...I know what you say you did, I just don't get why.

It "looks like" you didn't do anything but tint it like others said. (I know you didn't) Big gamble on leakage tho just to achieve that minor result on an expensive part. If you didn't say anything, it might not even get noticed. I figure this is just a mod for you and not necessarily an aesthetic you want other people to notice about your car? But to each his own...

Nice gleam to that NBP tho!

I like it alot, it looks better than stock and it is different than other peoples blacked out headlights!

sunny201

Nice job! looks great.. Ive been wanting to do mine for a while, but havent got the balls to yet, nor the time

aboys6spdtl

Thanks!....... I wanted to do something i guess in between stock and blacked-out like some other members have done on here...not that I'm saying I dont like it..just wanted to create something from I want to do... not to agressive....

Looks good man, I have always liked subtle touches. Its nice when people do a few subtle things and you look at the car and say man that looks good, it different even though I cant quite put my finger on why.
