Hello, I just thought I'd share a few shots today of my headlight conversion that Todd (dragonplayboy) came over and helped me with this weekend. Well, he really did about all the work so all the credit goes to him. It turned out great and I couldn't be any happier.

I know its nothing new, but I haven't seen a conversion done before on many redlines.

Here they are:










Today I drove out to the causeway here in Tampa, and decided to take some pics with my camera. I'm still a complete newb with it, so bear with me. I took all of the shots with my circular polarizer filter, as it was a really bright day. To my dismay, I came back and found out that the polarizer had made my headlights turn rainbow colors in the pics! Unfortunately, this means that most of my really good shots were trashed.

Oh well, live and learn... Here are some that turned out okay.













Today I also found a new photo spot on the way back, but coulnd't stop to get any shots there due to the fact that rain was on its way. I might stop there later this week and try to get some shots. If people are interested I might post them up as well.

 

THAT LOOKS SICK!
VERY NICE!

 

Redlines are always photogenic.... I'm jealous.

 

Headlight conversion looks great. Pretty damn good pics for a "newb."

 

Thanks. Just added a couple more pics of the car in the garage the night we finished them.

 

Damn, nice headlight, nice Z, and nice view!

Are the pics with ocean as background Photoshoped at all?
If it wasn't photoshoped, your car looks so damn clean and sleek on those pics!

What camera did you use??????

 

I had some other really good angles but the rainbow effect from the polarizer was too bad to fix. I'll get some more next time. Oh, and all these photos were taken on auto mode... I've been busy lately with finals and work and haven't even had a chance to read the manual.

 

Wow!

That is one sweet looking Redline Z. Please keep those pics coming.

 

Other than color correction and a few gradients and gaussian blurs, then no. I had to correct the color on some of the headlights in those shots to remove some of the rainbow caused by the polarized filter.

Notice in the first few pics in front of my garage you can't see any rainbows. These were taken without the polarized filter. I also noticed when I put on my polarized sunglasses, I could see the rainbow colors.

Ahh... I'm going to log off for now.. huge lightning storm and my UPS just caught a surge.. I'll be on later tonight.

Thanks guys.

 

.....This car looks even better in person. Nice mod and pics.

Did you put the headlights in the oven? I had to do that with my old car.

 

Damn Nice Job Craig.

 

looks real good.nice and clean.

 

super cool

 

my computer at work sucks *****, I cant tell... did you paint them black on the inside? if so, that IS SICK! super clean man!

 

amazing!

 

Best redline Z ever

 

ya, I gotta say that looks really good. I read the how to articles a while back, and decided that the whole "puting your lights in the oven thing" sounded a little scary. Your pictures might make me get over my fear!

 

I REALLY like that look!!!

 

i was wanting to do this so bad, i even bought the ricks strips, but im too scared. you think ur friend wants to do another set

 

Very nice indeed!
