ed99's car is sick. One of my favorites on the forums.

How come ed99 didn't post his own pics?

Ed will come in and see for himself later on today...

I did those headlights for him, uninstalled headlights, cleared and black housing (heat gun method which took a bit longer), color mods and reinstalled for him. Took me basically a full day.....

I don't think I'll even do this much work in one day again...my hands, back and legs are killing me now.....I thought I was younger.....

His headlights now made his TL alot meaner!!

I'll be offering this service locally later on when I am recovered.
I'll start a new post when I am ready.

Suprise to see my car posted this morning..LOL!!! Thanks for all the compliments and have to hand the credit to "Lights" for doing an awesome job on my headlights. He took his time to make sure everything went well. It was a long process but he got the job done. Anyone from Vancouver that wants their headlights cleared....he is the MAN!!! Finally we have someone in the Vancouver area that would do this and do it right.

Ps...my car needs a bath!!! Looking pretty dirty in the picture..haha!!!

You did a good job w/ his car. However, if you want to start this service, you need to get clearance/vendor status w/ astro first.

It's called 'yut ping'.
I know the chinese name but not the english name. lol

It IS good. Haha, it's the only place I go for all you can eat sushi most of the time.

But ya, ed you gonna get TL-S rear sidemarkers and tails? Or planning to keep that stock?
I think you should tint the windows. lol Would look really nice with the car.
I kinda regret painting my headlights black. Shoulda left the sides silver and just take out the clear lens. Looks more luxurious I guess.

I might do the TL-S Tails but no tint for now. I think keeping out the tint will keep the car looking clean. Plus I don't want any hassle from the cops. So keeping the windows stock for now. At one point I wanted to do something different and to try and source 70% baby blue tint just like the Mercedez Benz. That would look pretty cool!!

u know better that there's no such thing as 70% blue tint available in the market.
those benz windows are actual blue windows, not tinted by film.

That is why I couldn't do the mod. I called everywhere if anyone sold 70% baby blue tint.
