Big thanks to a local headlight modifier!
Just wanted to say a big thanks to George and his friends, aka paperboy42190 . He did an excellent job on modifying my headlights and they turned out even better than I expected. I had the headlights sprayed in a satin black and also swapped to the sti-r clear lenses (which make an unbelievable difference as far as the output and projection). He did the headlights on the spot (removing the front bumper too) It took them about 4 1/2 hours for the complete job and their price was very reasonable. Just wanted to say if anyone is looking to get their headlights done locally, pm paperboy42190 !

Great post, seriously going to look into this next month, how much did the sti clears go for?
|
They were $50
(3") STi-R - Clear Lenses from The Retrofit Source Inc |
Looking good.
|
George does good work for sure! i got mine done 6 months ago and they look amazing
|
looking good dude, how much was it for everything?
|
The StiR lens swap is a must if you're opening up the housing.
Thumbs up for George! |

I'm looking into having this done soon, but I have a question on the sti-r lenses.
http://www.the370z.com/exterior-inte...-services.html According to that thread, you need a spacer for proper cutoff, but it seems some people just install it directly so...is a spacer needed or no? |
Spacer is not necessarily needed but definitely recommended. George made the spacer himself to get the proper cutoff
|
Ok cool, thanks :)

Beautiful work!

George is a cool guy im here now getting black housing StiR clear lens and a turn signal clear lens
with dual halos pictures will be up tonight :excited: |
Bummer.. Paperboy does not accept PM's.

^ looking good.
|
Looks good.

Got mine done by George also (paint/STI-R swap). Good work overall! He had a tough job b/c my HLs were previously painted when I had the LEDs/demon eye installed by MR Works. So he had to sand them down before repainting which took longer than expected.
Only item I would caution (being nit picky here) is to make sure there are no finger prints left on the inside of the HL before re-sealing. I have a few minor ones I can notice, but nothing worth having them re-opened for. Overall good work at a great price! http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/...9eb0da39_o.jpg http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/.../Capture-1.png http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/.../Madlight1.jpg |
^wow your car looks great! Too bad I never got to see your car in person :(
|
Wow you rocking some new fenders?
George, do you recommend swapping to diff LEDs? The same ones keep on flickering. |
hey flyest1 is that a aftermarket paintjob or a wrap? either way looks awesome man
|
where is George located?
|
He is located in alhambra
|
wow, super close to me. i might have to look into this. anyone know if there's anyone out there who's done GMish headlights? I am wondering how that would look. My car is GM as well.
|
370zmarc, do you have an overall picture of your car instead of just a close up so I can see how that black is looking with your GM Z overall?
|
Just got my headlights done by George last weekend (shrouds and inside painted gloss blk, iron-man LEDs, STi-r clear lense swap). He did a great job and it didnt take to long. Had my car back a few hours later. Nice guy, great work and great price! I recommend getting your headlights done by him. His screen name is (gyy), previously known as (paperboy42190)
:tiphat: |
