recently i picked up another hobby recently



so i then searched around for mounts and didnt want to cut my bumper or a hitch for found a good deal on a roof rack. took it apart and cleaned it




mounted it and hated to over lap of that bars so i fixed that

 

 

Nice rack
j/k looks good, and love that shade on your coupe 19s (but you already knew that)

 

lol thanks man!

 

so one thing that annoyed me was the crappy spray touchup somebody did on the bumpers. it had trash in the paint and had fisheyes just real crappy.

so on my two week vacation over christmas finally got them corrected..

 

and while the bumpers were off to get done.. a buddy talked me into doing my headlights

so i got the clear STI clear lenses and spacers and went to work..



pain in the butt to get off the headlights


everything for the mod.. note although there are spray cans i ended up having my friend thats doing the bumpers paint the shroud also..


wasnt too bad splitting.. 255 for 8mins..



clear lens


cutoff correction. bend the black part all the way back out of the way


test and tune


all sprayed up


added some more rubber and time to go back together

 

before (i cant remember if my yellow fogs were on or not)


after with 5500k bulbs (no fogs)

 

I'm more than a little jealous of your DIY *****. Apparently that includes painting. Wow.

I'm feeling skeptical about a red eyelid. Is it back on the car yet for pics?

 

waiting on wet-sanding and buff for final pics..

 

thanks man, but i cant take credit for the paint.. i was gonna do it initially but decided to have my friend thats doing the bumpers do it instead..

and yea the eyelid looked awesome standalone.. one the car initially it was a lil too much red but its growing on me..

this is all i have for now as it being on the car..

 

Nice work, it looks great.

 

Gotta say, just a great job on those lights. You went all-in on that cutoff and sure looks razor sharp. Those OEM fresnal lenses are a joke, thanks for the pic comparing the two. I'm not usually a fan of eyelids but that one looks real good, very minimal and the width was kept to just the right amount throughout the curve.
Look forward to more pics.

 

thanks guys.. was nervous but turns out it really wasn't bad at all..

 

Beautiful car toxic! I've got a red G as well. Very interested in also making my Takeda dual. I am using the splash shield but those K&N filters look like a perfect fit. Do you have the part numbers by any chance so i could order them in?

 

Love the cut-off on the clear lens and great progress on the car. Can't wait to see full body pics once the car is finished!
