I'm in for a Black Chrome housing as well, that would look so classy/nice/awesome. Any pics ?

iamwagz 05-05-2013 05:42 PM

....maybe they're working on it right now....?

Bonzo 05-06-2013 11:36 AM

This was a mod I've wanted to do since I got my car back in November of 2011. I am so glad to say it's finally done, and WOW, it looks SO much better. Unbelievable really how much better it looks. Thanks to the crew at 180 Customs for doing such a nice job and doing it very quickly to boot.

I just wanted to remove the chrome "bling", and make the car look a bit meaner. I wasn't looking to "add", but subtract, and by subtracting, it looks so much more. So my mod is basically the minimum you can do.

Chrome housing = painted matte black
Light Rings = stock silver, nothing done
Orange reflector = painted gloss black

The only killer was the fright, although I probably over packed them. But freight was about $72 each way, or $144 total.

All in all it was a lot of work but it was totally worth it. Thanks 180 Customs!!!

Pics coming up......

Are US and Aus/JDM spec lights the same?

I'm sure you'll need to buy JDM lights as US have different light cutoffs to Australia (LHD vs RHD). You will probably blind oncoming traffic by using USDM lights.

More than likely. Thanks for the thoughts mate!

Still waiting to hear whether they can do a shadow/black chrome...

Crxckadome 05-25-2013 07:55 PM

Didn't want to start a new thread on something so overly worked but I wasn't able to find anything similar. Has anyone done amber LEDs like the old 08 Z?
I was curious to see three options, full amber led strip / bottom 3/4 LEDs / or top 3/4 only led.
Anybody have anything similar?
Thanks

kinda old, but Bonzo, how is the cut off lighting at night? Is is any difference? You wouldn't have any pics of night time shots facing a wall would you?

I'm interested in doing this, but I'm worried that the lighting output will be either dimmer than stock, or crazy illegally bright with poor cut off.

Thanks :tiphat:

He just painted his housings, why would the light output be any different? All the light comes from the projectors which were not modified

Voice59 06-05-2013 05:27 PM

Quick question for 180. What's the turn around time on average once you receive a set of headlights?

Team Boost 06-05-2013 05:39 PM

i would also like to know

Makes sense. I thought he also modified the landing strip area at first glance. I'd like to do business with you in the future, and the reason I asked was because I was worried that by modifying anything headlight related, I'll be blinding people like those with drop in HID kits on their civics. NOT something I want to do with my car. Thanks.

Those are due to people not properly installing/aligning parts.

Typical for the Civic community. :ugh2:

It depends on what mods you choose, some take longer than others to do. But on average, we need your headlights for 3-4 business days and then ship back to you.

If you make a drive-in appointment, it takes only about 4 hours because I'll have everything painted and ready before you arrive. Once you come in, we will take off the bumper, headlights, open them up, swap the inside housings, wire everything in and seal it back up.

Is this including purchasing a set of New lamps through you, and having those modded? Or only when someone sends you their set?

1cleanZ 06-07-2013 02:36 PM

highly highly HIGHLY recommend ONEighty for any and all services. I had them do my headlights on my G37, tails, and have recommended numerous members to do the same, with nothing but happy customers!

I will also be sending my 370 headlights this winter. Top notch customer service!

Voice59 06-07-2013 03:22 PM

pics? not that I doubt you. I just love their work. And the more pics the better.

We don't keep new headlights in stock, but it takes us only about 2 days to get them in. So depending how busy we are, I'll need 2-4 days to complete them from the day of the order.

If it's an appointment, I usually have at least a week to prepare everything for that day.

That's awesome. Once ordered, there wouldn't be a rush. :icon17:

How much does a set cost for you?

(Just trying to price out my planned setup for when I'm ready to do it :tup: )
