i think the other uses velcro.
i think i like your velcro-free version better

 

And both sides are now primed.

 

Cool...this is kinda like how mine started out. Its fun actually making something for this car instead of buying something for it. Your doin a good job. Keep up the good work.

 

I can't wait to see the end result.

 

fail

ibtl
















JK looks good man

 

I went to wallyworld & got all the materials, then found out I have to remove the front bumper to take the lights out, so mine is already a fail lol, I took the bumper off once to install my CAI & my bolts were in odd places, behind the tire wells, so I took my 2 front tires off etc etc... = never doing that again. Least not that way, maybe you could post a detailed FYI? That would be great.

 

Exactly! Some people just don't understand that.

Thanks guys!

Tomorrow will be sanding and sealer, then the black base coat.

 

Just got it sealed. Gotta let it dry and then sand it down before I lay the basecoat on.
It dries dull, hence the dull spots.

 

And they're finished. Just letting them dry now.

Black + Polyurethane clear coat.

 

wow...great job
pics on the car?

EDIT: i guess after they dry

 

Just checked them, and the clear is near solid, but not enough to be moved around freely and fitted on the car.

I'll probably let it dry fully overnight and post pics of them on the car tomorrow.

Thanks!

 

That is Cool, It would have been awsome if you spent more time and Carbon fiber the top...

 

Carbon fiber is in the mail

 

Woop!

Cant wait to see em...

 

Awesome!

 

Here's some pics installed.

BEFORE


AFTER

 

cool but looks purple. the carbon fiber will look real nice I bet.

 

It only looks purple because of the sun shining directly on it and whatnot. In person it's black, and very shiny.

 

schweet. Looks like sunglasses lol. I got my first driving school coming up this thursday, for now I think I'll be just using painters tape for a while.

 

Hmm they dont look purple to me, but that also dont look as good as I thought they would, I think you did a great job, but the before & after pics really just show me how nice your normal headlights look.. lol wish I had those year heads :/ Good job though
