Looks good, you just clearing them or retros too? I see the lens upgrade and geez, I know you did what the customer asked but the altima looks terrible

Thx for the kind words guys yes sometimes customers have different ideas so I do as they wish, if they like it, thats all that matters. If you guys think opening a headlight is hard work, then take a look at the GTI and altima headlights, they have permanent sealant on there so it cannot be heat gun opened, and needs to be dremeled open from the back and jb welded back together!

no, all the retrofits use stock reflector buckets. Yes some cutting involved but still stock reflectors.

I can clear them or do retros, or pretty much any work you are looking for.

Darn I was hoping for a way to get clear reflectors for my headlights. Also have you ever done anything to create black chrome headlights?

clear reflectors? which clear reflector bucket are you talking about? Because neither the tsx or is-f in your sig uses reflectors for the low beams.

no i havent, black chrome, or even regular chrome cannot be achieved well using spray paint. Closest I can think of is using tint spray on chrome reflectors, it would be similar but not exact.

Sorry I guess I called it the wrong thing. I want to get a clear lens for the side marker light on the IS-F. I hate the orange one.

Good job on those headlights. It's great to hear that there are more players in the headlight modding business. More competition means better prices for us all!

That's the rookie driver sticker in Japan. What a tool

OP: Your work looks really good. I thought about putting halos on my Subaru, but I think it would be easier for me to pay than attempt it myself.

Oh god, I've seen a 370z with those leds in the headlights like that. It looks like a pissed off Anime character in the night. It looks so stupid in the rear view mirror.
