That's exactly what I thought. Even $200 is worth someone else doing it.

Blade, you know, I was thinking, theres quite a few of us in the general area, I would say we should get a few of us together, and paint our headlights all at the same time, but 1st we'd have to find someone that knew how to do it, and we could all help each other through the process.

We could plan a day, sometime soon, order pizza, drink some beer, and custom paint some headlights.. I think it'd be fun. Just a thought. What do you think?

It does sound like a good idea, but I don't want to get my headlights painted. I don't think it would look good with my car's color. It definitely looks good on a black Z though. If you guys do it, I don't mind just hanging out and watching/helping if I can. Let me know if you decide to do it.

Best tint shop I have found is auto magic

AutoMagic - A Full Service Auto & Truck Accessory Center

Im not ure how I'd go about planning something like this, I guess what I could do is start a new thread, and get a sense of whos down to do it, and plan it a month to 2 months out. Have people bring their own tools, and hopefully find someone who knows how to actually do it, and have them take the lead on it.

And, you're car is silver, I think, if you found your car's paint color, that would look pretty sick. Just my 2 cents.

Sounds like a plan to make a plan, lol.

I think my headlights are fine the way they are. My car is platinum graphite which is a gray that's darker than the silver color. If it was a darker gray like the 40th Z, then maybe I would do it. After the spoiler, I think my Z is good in the looks department. Now its time to move on to performance :tup:

What about doing something like this:

It looks really difficult and complicated though.

Yeah, that DIY looks intense, I dont wanna do the whole LED type deal, but I do wanna custom paint the interior pieces, I really think we could get someone thats done it before, to help a few of us out. It'd be fun.

I'd be afraid to open up the headlight housings. Always be afraid that condensation would form inside.

Custom headlights look good, but it's one mod I'm passing on solely due to risk.

Yep. You definitely don't want to be getting condensation in there.

Beyond that, the LEO harassment that comes from having anything done to lights is simply not worth it, at least if you drive the car regularly.

Yeah I hear ya on that, but Im always willing to take chances, so Im gonna play the odds.. lol, and see what happens.

Yeah I don't think its worth the trouble. It's also makes it more difficult to bring the car back to stock when trying to sell it. You would have to go through the trouble of buying new headlights and replacing the painted ones or find someone willing to buy it as is. I'm planning on selling it in like 3 years, so I don't want to do something that would be hard to bring back to stock.

Spoiler is finally installed!!! Got it done from Christian Auto Body in Laurel for $80. They did a great job. :happydance:

looks good!

Blade, that looks Bad*ss... excellent job buddy, im loving it. I'm looking forward to getting all my stuff done just like you've done, its on my "to do list"

Thanks man! I have some things on my to do list to, but I need to save some money first :tup:

You coming out to the track day next Sunday? It would be the perfect chance for you to see my car in person.

You need to save money? I need to save up money too, thats the story of both our lives.. hehe, I owe less than 12k on my Z, and Im in the final stretch of paying it off, but it seems soo far away..haha.

And track day, I can make it out there, but its gonna be later in the day, I'll get off 2, than head out there, I may bring the girlfriend out there too, :p we'll see.

Actually it looks like its gonna rain that whole weekend :(

If it does I will probably reschedule it for the following Sunday.

Gotcha bro.. Hey blade, how do you like them gas prices?? sucks doesnt it?? :roflpuke2:

Yeah it does. I get my gas from Sam's Club, so its still cheaper than most gas stations. Filled up for like $3.27/gal a few days ago and it was $3.62/gal across the street :eek:

Ok so I noticed some bubbles in the tint on my right tail light in the past few days, but it wasn't really that big of a deal to me. I woke up this morning and I saw that there was a huge pocket of air underneath the vinyl :mad:

I just sent an e-mail to the guy at Xlnt Tint. I hope this gets fixed soon. I washed my car for the first time after getting the tint done yesterday, maybe that Is what caused the problem. I will let you guys know how it goes.

Here are some pics of the tail light:

All the problems are around the edges of the reverse light.

I have installers around the country. Email me to order ;).

B@t

Sorry man, I already got all my tint work done. I decided against the roof overlay because it would look weird with the antenna sticking out in the middle. Thanks anyway!

Holy Sh*t... hahaha

Blade let me know how that works out for ya with your tail lights... Sorry to hear that, but Im glad you're letting us know about it, so we are aware.

I just filled up last night and gas had jumped up to $3.45/gal at Sam's club.

I have an appointment to have it fixed on the 10th. Now I have to drive all the way back there...

Damn, that sucks bro, and dude, eversince gas has jumped up, I have NOT driven my Z... I refuse... hahaha. Gas is crazy right now...:ughdance:

I could never do that, its just too much dun to drive.

It is fun to drive but, that joy can hurt the pockets, when you see that gas gauge and them dots start going black.. hehe:shakes head:

My other car takes premium gas too, so I don't really have a choice :)

Yeah my Eclipse eats the Premium stuff too, I have to admit, I dont do any casual driving with prices the way they are.. Money's too tight right now.

I bought the Z to drive it, so I'm not gonna let something like gas prices stop me. I'd rather cut back on other stuff and have fun with the Z.
