Default Painted the Lights + Installed LEDs

That's about it! I was in-touch with Mr. Zipps to get them painted but decided to try it myself. Andrew's PM on his own project built some confidence so I went for it!

I also smoked the clear corners, installed new LEDs in them, plus installed 6 LEDs in each headlight, surrounding the projector.

Full shoot and story are here: https://my350z.com/forum/media-share/276659-2k6-redline-gt-photoshoot-led-work-painted-headlights.html

Wow nice! Looks good. Im intrested to see the headlights in person, when you coming out next? Also if you want some help on touch up on any of those photos let me know, i can help remove grain, improve contrast, all that sort of stuff as i work with Photoshop everyday for work so have to do a fair amount of tune ups to pictures. Fun eh? Looks really good, love the location and some real good angles, nice work!

Thanks guys!

Spivey, thanks much for the offer. I would love some pointers. I've been playing with PS off and on for a while and can do a lot of stuff with it but haven't figured out how to improve grain. These pics were all taken at a very high res at low ISO to avoid grain, but I think I oversaturated some of them in PS which added grain afterwards...gotta work on it!

I won't be able to make the 6/30 meet but look forward to seeing the gang again real soon!

Car and lights look great. Now all you need is a carbon lip for your front bumper and you can call it a day
