Yea I don't recommend tinting headlights. The heat from the sun and from the HIDs can eventually cake the tint onto the headlight and it will start to crack. I painted my headlights black and they look great. Its just more of a pain in the a** to have it done, but it looks better and holds up much better over time.

Car looks great so far though. I like what you did with the roof. Unique and cleaver!

hmm your point makes sense man but it would be prone to happen over a really long run besides I don't do driving at night that much for the spider cracks issue to speed up :tup: You learn something new on this great forum every day man.

Hey SeeYaBud, your car looks hot. Thanks, the roof looks awesome indeed :) I didn't want to go with the painting of the headlights because it would have been a pain to deal with if I got a ticket to fix it. I am not too worried about the tint on the headlights as I don't do much driving at night and car is parked in garage during the day :tiphat: Great car you got once again man.

:tiphat:

Are wheels in your future or are you sticking with the classy OEMs?

370zlove3 03-19-2011 06:38 PM

I like your car, birdman. Very clean and "subtle" changes that make the car look awesome.

You ever considered painting the wheels black? I think it compliments with the black very well. :tup:

Well done birdmanx1. Killer mods! Any sound clip with Berk HFC + Nismo CBE?

I was actually going to get the wheels powder coated gun metal last week but held off last minute, still very much in love with the chrome finish of the rims at this point.

Thanks 370zlove3, pretty glad at how things are turning out. I would probably get the wheels powder coated rather than painted once I am over the chrome finish or unless I get my hands on 98intrigue's rims :tup:

Berk HFC + Nismo catback exhaust Vids
 
Here are some vids of the Berk HFC + Nismo Catback Exhaust setup. Kept the revs under 4.5k RPM. Nice setup and a screamer once you get in the upper mids to high end RPMs.
