Headlight modification?

dmhenderson · 08-15-2012, 06:43 PM

I want to do my headlight shrouds too. Is that going to make things more difficult?

Yeah that's it. Leaving it silver looks weird on a black car. Blue painters tape work for taping it off...?

I had the same company do mine that Jon (ZCarMan) had his done. MRWorks, which unfortunately went out of business after one of the guys got married.

That being said, I'd think it would work, tho.

I think you can take the amber reflector out when you open the lights up.

Yeah I'll pick one up today. Still missing a lot of stuff from the OP though. Sealant etc... Need all of those gaps filled before the 15th for sure.

Also working on your car means more if you actually drive it and I drive my car way more and harder than you do. Trollmate bro

You got a couple years head start on me, but give me some time and I'll get there too. You have the advantage in having your own garage. Give me a year and hopefully I should have one too. BTW, let me know when you decide to do the spring install. I'll try to help if I can make it.

I'll believe that when I see it dude. Don't forget, I still hold the record for 2nd fastest stock Z 1/4 mile time. Come out with me to Capitol Raceway one night and I'll show you how it's done

We can have our little race when we get together to do the headlights

Dude, I dont have a garage, I wish I had a garage, I do all my work outside brother, ask Crux (the other SS guy).. we were sweating it out when I showed him how to do his oil change, then installed that LED underbody kit on my Eclipse.

I do wanna check out the drag strip, I just gotta get the time off..

We'll you at least have your own property. I'm not allowed to do any modding in my apartment complex's parking lot.

It is fun at first, but gets boring after a while, especially if it's crowded and you have to wait a long time in between runs. It's best to go when the temps are cooler because you're not gonna have your best time when it's 80*+ outside. 60's and below is when you'll get decent times. I wanna go out there soon now that I have much better tires on the car. I should finally be able to beat my stock time
