PM Replied. ;)

Yap it was a pleasure working on your headlight set. Marco and I would love to see them on your ride. Hope you had a very nice vacation. It's funny Marco and I know people on this forum by location. While we were working on them we kept referring your headlights Vegas. Good times.


What is 180?

Zsteve photo's up as promised:tup:

Nice gallery Caravan:tiphat:

+1 sweet photo can't wait to see Vegas aka Ducky images of his setup. I'd love to put it in our gallery of client work.

I believe it's a bit blurred but still a nice photo.

:hello: Let us know when you're ready no pressure.

We have many photographs of MR Matte Black, Satin Black, and Gloss Black. Currently we are working on special set for Texas hint hint.

Very close, our client from Canada did his in K51. DJcuetip was similar but totally custom. Had had a custom PPG pint mixed which we sprayed a one off Lamborghini Gunmetal. The material was quite expensive but turned out beautiful.

That's our custom MR Matte Black set that we did for a local Socal San Diego member Jeremy. Very nice guy and a pleasure to work with. I here he will be having some future plans done to his vehicle I can't wait to see the progress.

Thanks Caravan. This is one major reason why we are offering the switches for those who want it. With the safety switch you have the convenience to shut them off and on.

Your car looks great in your avatar. I'm feeling the wheels.

Could be a bit tricky if it's your first time but it's not hard at all.

Right now this is how we ran Marco's on his Z. We are testing another option as we speak but with his car being prototyped for stage 3. And it's a few hundred miles away, it's not so easy to visit the vehicle everyday. In the near future we will be offering a sponsorship on a future product that we have yet to test so keep posted everyone.

These switches go well with the Z's interior they belong in this location.

Everything we do for our clients and customers is made to be user friendly as possible.

I'm so excited for you as well. Marco told me the great news. Good looking out brother! Don't worry Adam, Marco is a great guy to deal with he is honest and trustworthy.

BTW a few more images have been posted on the first page. Stay tuned for more...

Thanks Ryan!!

ATTN: NEW PICS ON PAGE 1 CHECK THEM OUT!! :tup:

Pics look good guys! I'm impressed your offering the shaved dimples, thats a good bit of finishing work with body filler to smooth them out. Not sure if I am a fan of the yellow shrouds though, I think I'd go all black if I had a yellow car to avoid the "bumble-bee" comments, lol.

Looking forward to getting the matte black on a roadster. They should be here in a day or so!

is it possible I drive to your shop and get everything knocked out at once? If yes, how many hours will it take?

I have a question about the heating process. That is necessary to separate the lens from the rest of the headlight right?

If so have you done any that have paint protection film on the lens already? Did it come out good in terms of the film still being ok?

Thanks Caravan your an precisely we use a special mix of Mar-Glass Short Strand Reinforced Fillers it's a laborious tedious process but I've done full fiberglass custom housings for others. It's really user friendly. Body filler and fiberglass is great it's all about the play time and letting it settle in before grafting your sculpture into a master piece.

Yeah, I agree the bumble bee effect may not appeal to others but some may like it on their Z if they have that stock color. We'll see how it goes for future Z's. So far I have yet to see Chicane Yellow around town. Most popular colors I've seen so far are Brilliant Silver, Platinum Graphite, Magnetic Black

Marco had shipped them pretty bulletproof. It rained the day they went out. We can't wait it's going to look beautiful on the roadster looking forward to the seeing photo's.

Hi molamann, of course we can knock it out at once it will take anywhere from 6-12 hours. The opening process takes roughly 32 minutes exact. Then the interior work requires intricate attention to detail work and that's where most of the work is spent. This is not including the removing of electrical components from the exterior harness. Anyway, pm me or Marco and we can arrange a date with you. We serve the entire world. It's great you're local because we can meet you personally and you can see how we operate. We operate in house to keep everything organized we keep it small and it's work out the best for us this way for many years. We have padded work benches, and comfortable sitting space, full carpeting so nothing is scratched. Anyway, let me know what options you'd like and we can set a solid date.

Hi G Fo12ce :hello: we heat up temperatures anywhere from 100 to 1,000 degrees farenheit depending on the surrounding temperature it differs with every headlight by size, shape, and dimension.

In regards to paint protection film on the lens? Are you referring to M.I.S clear shield to prevent stone chips or the 3M material that protects the lens casing? If so, I've actually done this before on my car MIS Clear Bra with the material still on my headlights and they held up pretty good but I was using . Every material reacts differently due to the different thickness' offered. My headlights are protecting with M.I.S shield same type of material clear bra 3M uses to protect bumpers which I also have done on my widebody, fenders, and hood area. I'm sure we can work with it. We have different ways of removing the lens without baking and softening the oem glue. If possible do you know how many millimeters the film is on your headlight protection.

My thickness on my headlights are:
Approximate Applied Thickness: 0.006 inch (0.15 mm) Film
0.002 inch (0.05 mm) Adhesive
0.008 inch (0.20 mm) = Total thickness

This is normally the standard type they use to protect headlights from stone chips and spider webbing on the windshield glass but who knows you may have something more bullet proof :). It's pretty tough stuff. Anything thicker is harder to apply. PM me so I can give you further details on the process to give you a full break down.

What is ballpark pricing on this stuff?

:hello: Good Evening spearfish25

YGPM!

The film that was used on the lights is the same as what they used on the paint to protect from road debris. It's a Venture Sheild material (Venture Sheild is owned by 3M) and I was told the thickness is about 8.5 mil or .25mm.

I don't know much technical info about LED's but I'vd heard they are sensitive to temperature. I hear for lighting in a home environment they are fine because the temp is pretty stable, but on cars there is a big varience. I think Audi has had some problems with thiers going out although I don't know how the size or type compared to what you guys use. But they are an OEM so you'd think they have thier crap together (although VW electronics don't have the best rep lol).

How were the LED's selected on your kit, are they rated a certain way that makes them better for automotive use or for various temps? How long are they expected to last? I'm just asking because it looks good and I know I'll be interested at some point. I had LED angel eyes on my M3 for about a year and they were fine.

I'm curious as well.

Can I get pricing as well please?

puchshaw/djward TGPM!

pricing on setup like ducky please

Are the blue shrouds painted to match Monteray Blue or are they a random blue? Can you paint the housing blue and leave the shrouds chrome? How much and where can I purchase that setup with the LED's?

The blue is the same color code as monterey blue! ygpm

ygpm

the shaved ones are beautiful! i hated the dimples.

Love the RAE blue interior shroud projector and blue turn signal lamp shroud!

Thanks for all your help Marco. Car is at the shop and ready for paint so I trust he will get you my lights or do I need to get them to you? You the man by the way...really hooked me up with Mike, he's a great guy!

His brother is funny too. I think he was downloading porn the whole time I was there, he seemed WAY TOO happy:tup:

Hey Adam, I just sent you a PM. If you can send them down that would be great, or I will be there monday and I can pick them up, but thats a week from now. Its up to you!

And no problem! can't wait for the finished results!! Those guys are great, hahaha and funny!

PS: Can we do a little photoshoot when our cars are done :) since they will be done around the same time!

Just PM'd you back

Photoshoot, hell yeah! I live only about 10 minutes from the shop. We can come to the house and get some nice pictures if your up to it.....or better yet, if you can keep up in the canyon :) I've driven this canyon a 1000 times, its a fun little road.

I'm headin down to the shop as agreed with Marco on the 26th! Can't wait for the results!

haha sounds great. As for the canyon run.. i swore to myself i would never do that again after what happen to my first car when i was 16.. 02 Toyota Celica

If you look closely you will see the spokes and wheel imprint of my rims on the tree.. picture was taken by police officer



Plus, my car is going to need a clear bra :ugh2: :(

Yes sir! You car is going to look meaaaaaaaaaaaan. :tup:

Holly $%$%!!

Never mind! Tell you what, we'll grab a beer in Brea and talk about the Canyons. I've had my fair share of wrecks, a third of my back is scar tissue for my streetbike days and racing, your picture makes me feel ill. Yikes!!

Oh man, so many of my friends drive bikes, i was considering getting one at one point, but glad i didnt..

beers sounds good :tup:

:tup:

Motoextreme>> :tup::tup::tup: on the all black headlights...thats how I did mine!

+rep coming to the first to black out the insides of the JDM tails...Ive been wanting to do that ever since I saw em, would look ridiculous with matching black head lights:ughdance:

And on a side note >>>MR works does awesome work but more importantly their communication and customer service sets them apart from the pack IMO. They get my endorsement all day long! keep up the good work fellas!

^^^ Thanks Jeremy, we truly strive to keep our customers happy.

Sounds like I'm late to the party :/

Marco, is Ryan back yet? lol :confused:

Hey, like I said last night Ryan is out of town because of a family emergency with his grandfather. I know for a fact, the headlights are the least of his priorities for the time being. I spoke to him today, we can do your design, but right now he is very occupied.

I pray everything will be okay with him and his family, and I am trying to followup with everyone which is why I messaged you last night that he won't be able to get back to you til he gets back in town.

I hope you understand that we aren't a huge corporate business and when family emergencies come up we don't have a staff that can fill up spots. However, I will do my best to followup with anyone that contacts either me or Ryan.

I think I speak for us all when I say family first. Although, if you have someones headlights and they can't drive right now they may feel a little different, but it sounds like you are just saying he won't be able to respond to PM's which IMO is no big deal. Hope your grandfather is ok!

Whoa there buddy, I wasn't calling you out lol. I was just wondering if he was back because I noticed him online for a bit. I sent him a friendly PM already; I don't mind, family always comes first.

And my headlights are still installed, so it's not like I'm powerless to drive my car while I wait :tup:

^^^ Sorry if you thought he was online, it says he was active because I sign onto his account to follow up with any messages he receives while he is gone!!

I will keep you informed though ;)

I'm having second thoughts on Blackening the housing. I'm not sure if It'll turn out the way I want it to be. Haha. I just don't want it to look too aggressive! How's white? Would anybody be able to photoshop one on a red Z pleasse :[

^^^ for a red Z I would definitely recommend doing a matte black or sating black. It will match your windows especially if you have black interior. It will match your grill, and your black rims if you get them powdercoated!

Oh sweet! Show me the difference when I get there alright? I want to make sure everything works out. My tint apparently has to come off. Diamond Tint film is starting to come up with bubbles on the edges. REFUND! :ughdance:

For sure!!:) If you want to see one right now, here is a picture of both matte and satin side by side. Satin has the glossy finish, while matte is a flat finish.

Personally, I like the matte black better ;) Plus, when the headlight is put back together the clear headlight lens gives it a gloss look!
