Not true. It's just an illusion, the black is actually white.

Stock is three color, white, flat black and a grey with flecks and has no gloss black. The pic is not well lit.

Nissan badge was shaved and Nismo holes Shaved. All black is Gloss black.

Guys, i was not a fan of the 4-5 circle LED's by carbon signal or evo-r, which led's come from ebay. So unfortunately sourced my own Led from yes, Ebay. However the reviews were good and has 1 year warranty on the bulbs. I wanted a Led setup with lens, and was not about to pay 1600 at the dealer. Thats why i wens this route.

I made a template our of cardboard, for the lens and repoduced the shape out of wood, yes a thin 1/4 inch piece of craft wood. Sealed it and primed it so there should not be any swelling. Sealed,Primed, sanded, primed, and painted. I have $50 in the whole setup, and about 2 days work. Im pretty happy with the outcome.

Search on ebay for LUMEN 7.5 led and you should find it, same light ranges from $24-65 for the pair. I dont think there is a difference.

That looks really good!

I've got a set of the EVO-R DRL on my way to the UK.

My plan is to try and mount them deeper into the bumper as they sit pretty much flush then - I'm going to get the black plastic plated in plastic chrome at a place near me, finally fit some sort of clear diffuser/lens over the top so it looks more OEM and less "stuck on".

I've also got a set of "Ring - Lyra" DRL's that I purchased, I may see if I can hack these to get a better look.

those custom LEDs look sooooooo good! Props dude, great job.

patabq 03-31-2016 09:37 AM

I like the gloss black, but I would like better pics. The DRLs are great.

Gianni 03-31-2016 11:55 AM

I did gloss black as well but I wish I did all matte black.

Why is that? I am trying to decide.

I like the gloss black because it looks clean but I'm in the desert man and it gets dirty fast. I think matte will help a lot with keeping it looking nice.

patabq 03-31-2016 11:10 PM

Thanks. I will probably go with flat.
