Flexibility + Durability FTW! (I hear these can deflect bullets!) Muhahaha! :D

Here's a last shot of me in my jumpsuit, goggles, and respirator mask... oh smack.. I forgot the gloves... I'm gonna diiiiie, oh wells! (yes, you do NOT want to breathe fumes nor let the materials touch ur skin!) :icon39:

(no 'peace-sign' FOB poses today)

I'll update you guys when I actually have these coated w/ a flexible gloss finish, but as for now, I simply wanted to make 1 side to see how they'd look on my pimp mobile. Track season is coming up so it's important to protect your headlights from flying debris... so protect them in styyyyle playa!

To Be Continued...

I have a pair of HIDs laying around + an entire roll of carbon fiber so I decided to have some fun ;)

They're actual functional covers that you can pop on and off! I'm planning on using them for some track events

you should actually remove your headlights at the track and make brackets for these.

also, get rid of that ugly lip :) you are better than that!

Eric the Ricer Jun 9, 2008 03:15 PM

Damn Anh, that stuff is sick! Please use my HID's next time and let me have yours, I really need a blacked out set.

I'm getting my front bumper fixed atm, this is a temporary rice kit. However, after I make the other side, I'm going to fabricate some brackets for these... or I might just use double sided tape
