Can we get a some night time pictures head on and from the side? I'd also appreciate if you could take another picture during the day but while you're perpendicular to the grille. I like the way the mod looks but with the yellow fog film I think it clashes.

sorry for bad pics, my note 2 doesn't do well at night. i will get a better camera to take pics







i tested to see if my rears fit my front, and it did!

255/30/20x9.5 +12 for the fronts sit right on flush



excuse the background, apparently my phone camera was set on a filter setting

also just ordered 168 bulbs for the front headlight diffuser. got some white led bulbs on the way.

for the demon eyes, you can only see it when the headlights are off, once its on, you cant see it.

ehh yellow fogs will stay.. as i have lamin-x filmed on it to protect the lens..

im not really into that whole HID in fog unless it has a projector in it.

i am waiting for a good time to retrofit my fog lights to stick in a projector in there and from there on i will remove the yellow film

Apparently, the film holds up to the foglight heat? Do you run the fogs all the time?

yes, if you have ever had lamin-x film you will know how thick it is.. it is probably equal to 5-6 sheets of white paper thick.

ive had it for about 3 years. i filmed the fog lights the first week i got the car back in late 2009 and havent changed it since. i run my fog lights all the time

just a couple of pics..

Its amazing how much it shows the red, just from paint on the cut off shield; again great work! Haha you waited a hot minute to blacken out those lights but looks like the wait was worth it.

it does seem like it on the pictures, but assure you it looks much better and more red in person. i shy away from light colors on a dark color car... wheels are an exception because they are silver.. other then that.. no bright colors.. i am planning to do a projector retrofit on the fogs. i have already listed down what i need to do and what parts i need. soon the yellow film will come off and i will re-apply a clear film. fog projectors will be 3000k color

The red looks sick AND the fact that it doesn't negatively effect the light output is even better. I wish I would have known about your plans to do this sooner. Results look nice and I probably would have asked JnC to copy that style for me. Great job!

yup, im maxed out on the coils.. the tein ss doesnt let you slam your car way low because the whole strut is not threaded like other aftermarket coils. i dont mind it, if i plan to go lower i am going to do what FYAH did and get lowering springs swapped in.

yea the paint is mint after 3 years, i am due in for another detailing job on this car.. just waiting to move to a new house.
