looks awesome....now me want those as well lol

I wonder if these can be done in say a flat/matte white CF ??

well HID use only 35w of power and the projector channels the light/heat to a spot so usually it shouldn't get thaat hot inside at least not hot enough to change the color of the clear coat.

Matte finish can be done. I have an additive for my clear so they dry matte instead of glossy...a little tougher to do but can be done.

White/cf.... Its actually a fiberglass/carbon fiber hybrid...Alot thicker than real cf and extremely tough to work with cuz of the thickness...But looks good.

Thanks for the info i will keep this in mind. :tiphat:

So cute, I love it :) lol

That's some amazing work as usual Tony. But as good as your CF skills are, when CF is applied to lights, just makes it look.........APC-ish. Just IMO though. Amazing work, just wrong application IMO.

In for price! But for the people questioning about heat. Carbon Fiber withstands heat amazing. I have engine bay parts that are done with just regular resin. So I dont think the headlights will get as hot as those. But if they do, they also make a High Temp resin that could with stand pretty much any heat. I have seen people make ATV racing exhaust tips with it. And by looking at the work I have seen these guys do I dont think we will have to worry about bad parts. But thats just my 2 cents

:iagree: :tup:

yes you are right carbon can take a lot of heat, but what it does not is the resin the only company so far that has a temp proof resin is GM and is using it in the ZR1 everything else with heat will turn yellowish, take a look at the porsche carrera gt (google carrera gt carbon fiber yellow)

I've done engine bay parts....and all good, so im pretty sure these will be no problemo!

damn these look good

Carbon Mods out of the UK has it as well, cause thats were I bought my resin.

I found a blog (The Real JDM) where a Japanese 370Z had true CF headlight housings:

^^These same exact pics are on the 1st page.

^ Those look sick, but I can't imagine the time they put into it, I guess they can afford it since labor is so cheap there lol. They probably walk across the street to someone, and have them do it for like $40. :bowrofl:

Looks like a dog pissed on those BBS's.

At least the dog got taste lol

:icon18:

TL;DR fail
just stole some of 2theextreme's thunder

What ?

Hmmm??

Que ???

What was too long that you didn't read ?

I think he's alluding extreme has this as a current project.

There is no such thing as cheap labor in Japan. :ughdance:

yeah, I thought you would know better than that !!

I mixed up with China lol :wtf2:

One more new pic...I just have one light going for now. Going to do the 2nd one right after. This one should be ready for airbrushing and clearcoat in a day or so...

No, I had posted photos of the same CF headlights from the same blog. :rofl2: No worries!

These are going to look great, as well! :tup:

See what happens when you don't read something and just start posting away.:roflpuke2:

I have a condition. It looks something like this: :postwhore:

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl::tup:

Tony ah ur killing me. Now I want these lol

Finally got time to finish one of them...Did the airbrushing and cleared the one light tonight with a bunch of other parts...I also took apart the orange reflector and painted it black...and painted the silver parts of the light gunmetal....Here's some teaser shots.
Still needs one more coat of clear in a little while. Assembly tomorrow!!!
