Talking Just blacked out my lights...

So yesterday I finally got the nerve to tackle the headlights and all I can say is WOW...this was a messy pain in the ass (at least for me) , but I think the results were worth it . So check it out and let me know how it looks. Oh yeah, I know its dirty.

i think it looks sick. I love the way the RJ kit looks on ur car, for some reason it looks way better on urs than some others that ive seen, i think its because of the wheels. Looks very classy man and the headlights were the finishing touch

Man, you've been busy lately, headlights, car shows, lol. Def love your car, hasa full muscular look. Now clean that bish and reshoot it! don't forget to shine dem tires too.

BTW, the mesh is a bitch to stop from chipping, thats why we don't paint it, but If I were you, i have the mesh paionted anthracite to show that it is seperate from the kit wihtout standing out too much.

It will also match the wheels.

yes i agree...for some reason your RJ kit is different than others...

maybe it's the angle of the photoshoot..

Looks good bro. It came out great. How long did it take to do?

What about a photo shoot sometime soon? I just ordered a Nikon Digital SLR, should be here sometime this week. Your NBP and my WDP, great combo. I can take some pics and maybe rondog can put up on his website.

Hey Rondog, I caught those pics of the meet you guys had last weekend, looks like it was a great time.

I took my time, but about 5-6 hours finding all the bolts and being careful. also had to repaint one of the turn signal pieces, i tried to leave a reflective strip in the turn signal area like ding069, but didnt think it would turn out right...either way I am happy.

NICE! Did you take your car through rain yet? What kind of black did you use (flat, semi, or gloss?). What did you use to seal them up?
