BMW halo knockoffs look cheap - these on the other hand

[dmhenderson]

Daedalus halos:





Their prices are ridiculously reasonable too. Will post pictures once installed. Oh also apparently, you need at least 5 coats of paint on chrome to make reflector paint "sturdy". A compressed air can caused flaking on mine. They're stripping/repaining mine for free.

This shop rules.

Shop? Looks like a guys living room lol In for final pics, they look a little to thick for my taste. Maybe its just the picture.

They're in Germantown. I can PM you contact info if you like. Hang back and wait to see what the finished product looks like if you're interested. They're super-accommodating and promised me a 24-48 hr turn.

Their shop is in a renovated townhouse in an office park. I like the thick rings. Paint was still wet on the walls when I stopped by tonight to drop off the car.

The really thin halos look too bmw'ish for me. These look super distinctive and not like anything else I've seen which is a huge plus for me. Again, personal taste.

[Mr&Mrs]

Im curious to see how it looks without the halos on.

[dmhenderson]

I'll post plenty of pictures of the finished product. If you like what you see, PM me and I'll give you their contact details. They're just starting out as a business (they've been working on friends' cars for years) and anxious for business.

Im one of those people who believes halos belong only on bmw's so im not a fan I hate to say man. But hey, different strokes for different folks, I am glad they came out well for you!

[weiboy718]

Can I show mines off too? Haha

Lights are done. Considerably less "thick" than the pictures above indicate. I will try and take some pictures today - they came out awesome. These guys really went above and beyond. Don't want to go too much into pricing but I assure you it was extremely inexpensive for what I got which was:

-Baking two sets of headlights

-complete paint strip/repaint of housings and shrouds including disassembly/reassembly of "boomerangs (no chrome visible anywhere). While attempting to remove dust (and a Nismo dog hair) from my lights, the paint began to flake. Daedalus tells me you need to wet sand the chrome, then 4-5 coats of paint before install. Otherwise you will see paint flaking over time due to the heat generated by the headlights as the plastic chrome does not hold paint well.

-Chromed blinker bulbs (only amber when active)

-LED halo ring running lights

-Sealant mess clean-up on both the lights themselves and the vehicle.

-Part-out of salvage lights. They even went so far as to tape each individual screw to its corresponding hole one-by-one. I mean, who does this?

They're using my car in an advertisement some time this week :3
Pics to follow.

Edit: Oh I should also mention they did all of this in less than 48 hrs and they work weekends. Would have been less than 24 except I made a huge mess with that sealant (lol) and they had to spend an additional 4-5 hrs carefully paint stripping the housings.

So much for the DIY thread, right. I guess everyone else's headlights are doomed, huh.

[dmhenderson]

Not doomed at all. I just didn't do a great job on mine

[b1adesofcha0s]

Can't wait to see how these turnout

[Jordo!]

Hmm. Looking forward to final pics.
