Default who does blacked out headlights with clear strip?

not clearcorners.com...too pricey and not what I want.

I've emailed Mr. Zipps (Dan) many times in the past few days, but with no reply.

Who else does this?

Thanks.

Alex

i do A LOT of custom work on my car as well as headlights, grilles, and any other installs for the G and Z...here is a pic of my engine bay...had it installed by vortech...then i took it off had custom paint and jet coating done and then re-installed by myself including the fluidampr pulley and some other extras

The 3rd pic is my friends car...he does a lot of the custom work. He was just in Modified Mag for his car...he does ALL of his own work

sundeviljay:

yea I need a clear strip..

I would look, but I've been just way too stressed over not being able to find Mr. Zipps... If you actually don't mind finding a set of clear strips for me, you'll basically have 2 guaranteed customers... Just let me know the price you can do it for me for. PM is fine. thanks bro.

Let me know.

Alex

edit: nevermind I just emailed rick to see if he has these in stock. When are you available to do this? How much? And what's the turnaround time?

Thanks again.

Hi Alex,

Dan(aka Mr.Zipps) did mine around April of this year. Below is his website and updated email address:

www.MrZipps.com
Dan@MrZipps.com

I was emailing him on his old email address from yahoo.com, and never received any reply.

Hope this helps,
Mickey

How much just to install the clear strips? I live next to nitrouz, so we could maybe just send all our headlights down together.
