NEED FINAL HEAD COUNT for E/W's headlight mod event on Saturday

I kinda want to get rid of those orange relectors and just leave the silver portion but I'm not sure how to do it.

You could, but something else has to go in its place, there are kits you can buy, or even vinyl wrap you can use to hide it. I've seen it, but im not sure where.

If anything I want to hear my exhaust sound more not less. Screw sound proofing, just making my car unnecessarily slow for me.

My cousin wants to try doing the headlights on his 350Z with us. He says he knows how to take them out of the car so we just have to stick them in the oven and crack them open.

DM you can try asking in the DIY threads how people got rid of the reflector.

hey guys! just got back from the bday party

anyways recap of today, starting from 4pm and on
  1. VERY impressed at the fact that all headlights were off and opened by 4pm
  2. EW if you get condensation, I give up on baking headlights. You probably have half a tube of sealnat on your headlights, which probably transfered to your lens when installing. don't worry i got it all off
  3. for those needing smaller size shirts, until next meet. I can probably dig up some Larges, but mediums will be tough. We are designing a new shirt that should be out any day now advertising our triple fuel pump system for the GTR
  4. blades, get with the program, if its a headlight day, do headlights, not take your wheels off at 8pm and spray clear on them hahah JK
  5. Everyones headlights turned out amazing, DM your head lights were my favorite just because I'm a big fan of a completel black out. EW and MKG your guys headlights turned out amazing too
  6. EW try applying some polishing compound to your one headlight, it shoudl remedy some of the scuffs
  7. Pics will be up 1st thing monday morning, the pics accoridng to the camera turned out pretty awesome
  8. Great meeting you guys, hope to do this again for the second round of headlights
  9. For those that want to swing by the shop just give me a holler, i'm there 9-6 everyday and would love to give you guys mini tours

Hey I didn't have a 10 person team helping me out, which is why it took me forever. Also because I started late

Not sure if we could have even done another set of headlights though. Would have been pushing the limit in terms of time. I've decided to do my headlights black with gun metal shrouds. I hope they have Krylon Fusion in the color or something close. Otherwise I might have to use a different paint or just do it all black instead.

Also I had a good idea for our next mod party: painting the door handles. It's something most of us don't have and doesn't seem too hard to do. Also not as much risk as the headlights. What do you guys think?

There's a gunmetal-ish color. I don't think it's called that though.

Edit: That coffin wing made for a really...unpleasant morning.
