I did one modification this year: ...
 

Guess what it is.


It was very inexpensive and shipped with a quickness from Ontario CA in a tube.

I just so happened to order just enough to make it happen.

And i didn't eff it up during the install.



But first, some shots of Jeremy's IS350. He was in town for a training class so we met up. Everytime i see his car it's different haha. The wheels were on someone's TL from Florida...

It's might be hard to tell from the photos but i installed yellow transparent vinyl on the headlights. I decided to go this route because both of the ballasts in my original headlights recently failed. So I swapped the headlights from the other TL and just applied the yellow vinyl. I was iffy as to whether or not the output was going to have a slight tint of green, but after the bulbs warm up it is nothing but a true, bright yellow.

Hope you enjoyed, it should be all that gets done this year. :thumbsup:

I was gonna guess black roof until I saw the pics. Love it man. Never seen that before.

More pics of the light output?

That IS is so sexy.

So is your car too, of course.

damn man only one mod for the year. come on pick up your came and slow down on the LEGO :wink: :rofl:

looks good though man.

what happened to the teal ce28 though on jeremy's car?

unique!

Damn Jeremy's car is different every time I see it. The front lip is hawt but I miss the teal CEs :sad:

Eric I never would have thought YOU would put yellow film over the headlights. I'll have to see it in person to see what I think. You coming to the C&C/AZ meet on the 6th?

Edit: You did another mod! I see you ditched the LEGO spoiler and put a lip spoiler on. I like.

Maybe I will get to the black roof for next year. and thanks! I might have one other photo of the output let me check..

Indeed the IS very sexy. I never get tired of looking at it. Thanks!

The world needs a shot of your car with the pink done thing in the background. Thanks Jason. I think he traded them. tsk tsk on him.

Elaborate on your comment Sir. I predict you're thinking in your head that there is some rice in this thread. But i could be wrong, so feel free to elaborate.

the truth!

haha same here its dynamic for sure. We should call it the dynamic IS350. I forgot about the failed LEGO mod. Maybe i will go back to the drawing board on that one day. Hopefully I will make the c and c meet.

<3 both cars

Thanks Faiz. Faiz has a surprise for the TL community up his sleeves everyone.


Here is another shot where you can see some yellowness on the ground...

Eric, you have style and it shows in your mods.
A lot of the guys come on here and get flamed for their mods and then reference your ride. The difference between your ride and most others is your style. Obviously, you know what looks good and are not afraid to do something different, yet still keeping it classy.
Where as the others come here and ask for approval of their ride.
Keep up the great work. :thumbsup:

Thank you Sir for your exceptional comment. Very nice of you. :thumbsup:

The yellow headlights is a mod that i had always wanted to do after seeing countless spectacularly well done cars in the past. I figured I would give it a try and see what the results were. There is one other NBP TypeS that i had seen with the yellow film, and it looked good.

Your car never ceases to amaze me. Looks Great! :thumbsup:

Very nice! I always liked your car...it just looks so hot

Hmmm Eric....I wonder what your yellow hued inspiration was? Perhaps the same inspiration that has made me run 3000k HID for the past couple of years? Yourself and Aaron need to come to Sebring with us in March!

simple and effective

RICE - Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement.

The rice comment may have been a little strong. But your car just isn't my style at all. For along time you had an intercooler w/o a turbo or supercharger. Yellow 'tint' over your headlights reminds me of the kids that would show up at my school w/ flattened cardboard boxes and have dance offs (It just looks cheap). I do like some of the things you've done to your car and orginality is a great thing but...my preference is more towards OEM+. I like cars that the standard person couldn't tell anything was done to it, but they look at it and think it really catches their eye.

-Kevin

Thank you Sir!

Thank you Sir!

I never knew you had 3000k hids! When did this happen? and why haven't i known. Maybe a failure to let the world of acurazine and the TL community what you have done to your TL?

Thanks Vinny.

[QUOTE=RIGA;12410997]I learn something new everyday. Race inspired cosmetic enhancement. Very nice. I like that. What does RIGA stand for? I have an idea. :ninja:

So i just uploaded some daytime shots of the new look. Check out the updates..

I also haz a video that i made in the bottom on the parking deck that is being uploaded now to stayed tuned. :toocool:

Haha, what do you think it stands for? After you post, google Riga and you'll see what it really means

great as always, Eric

Video Clip!! Turn your speakers up.

yeah yeah yeah Eric, call me out on the forums why don't ya? Just finished up the yellow accord fog mod as well....just trying to get on your level!

Sounds great. Any vids of it not in a parking garage? (too much echo)

Nice work riga. Looks scary almost. That or I'm just a pussy.

the output looks pretty nice, but i dont like the daytime look.

I found Riga Latvia and Rhode Island Golfers Association.

Thanks Kiran!

You keep all of your mods secret. If you posted a photo of what your TL looks like i feel like it would be a complete surprise.

Only did two videos in the deck. Echos make for a raw effect.

Faiz said it looks kind of evil too. Time to lurk up on some trick or treaters ninja style.

Thanks! It's an acquired taste for sure.

The former

Would like it better with the headlights cleared, orange under the yellow isn't doing it for me. Out of all your mods, this is my least favorite..seems like a cop-out, if you wanted yellow light do it right (ex. yellow hid-kit). This is more of an afterthought, but regardless..car looks good as always, keep up the moddin.

its a good mod for someone who doesnt drive alot a night...where i live the first time the see that ...its ticket time

Very nice. So when are you switching the SC to turbo? hahah.

Ontario CA?

Did you happen to order from Shinzo Mediawerks?

Nice video. I like your front bumper but they dont sell those anymore :(

:drool: The daytime shots are growing on me.

Do work :thumbsup:

Nice touch-I like the look!

this "acquired taste" you speak of has been acquired by me, and I have tasted it.

great work man :thumbsup: funny thing is you can either do yellow very wrong for headlights on a car, or very rarely, it can be done just right, and you sir are the latter :)

Looking good man. I need to borrow your cam to make some videos.

You should come up to Mooresville tonight to eat cookout and go to the meet. I know you love cookout and we can shoot a pic to add to your burger joint TL shoot collection.

I think it'd look better with blacked out headlights + the yellow tint. But dat iz juzt mah opinanz.

fo rillz! ah tinkz dat yaz opinanz iz :thumbsup: :tomato:

Eric, is just bored. i guess you get like that when youve done almost everything to your TL as far as modding. believe me i know.:tongue:

that being said it looks ok, and easily reversible. not anything id do, but i do have hyper yellow DRL's though. hope cops are more forgiving in your area, or it might be ticket time.

Yeah there were many different decisions to choose from and i just decided $15 for a big cosmetic change wasn't too bad of an investment.

I'm about to do a 80 mile round trip so we will find out if there are any officers whom are curious.

Nevah!

The name doesn't sound familiar, but maybe.

Thanks! It's always been hard to get a hold of one. I lucked out with mine.

Thank you Sir! Do work son.

Thank you Sir!

Thank you very much Sir!

Jason i'm going to drive up there and see what this meet is all about. I've always known about the mooresville meets and tonight is the night where i find out.

You might be right. I can always order more film and do the original headlights and swap the ballasts between the two.

Normally when i mod I'm usually bored like you said, but I did this mod because I had always wanted to for years, and it was a good time to do it because both the ballasts went bad around the same time.

It will probably be a fix it ticket, where i take the film off and then show proof that it's been corrected. We shall see how lucky I get.
