Angel Eye with Carbon fiber Vinyl wrapping pic.

This is my first post ever on this site, so it kind of a test.

I also have picture of the bluebat overlay, painted front grill and rear tail spoiler and emblem, plastidip on my wheels on my G. There is also pictures of my TL headlight painted semi-gloss black. I used the TL as practice. The pictures are from a time span of a year thats why my car look like its changing.

If anyone is hesitating about opening your headlight up. Do IT! It's worth it. However, use a HEAT GUN instead of doing the OVEN method. It is a lot safer and it takes the same amount of time. I get no condensation whatsoever either. Just work a 6 inch section at a time around the edge where is sealant is.

Sorry if my car look rice to anyone. I'm a broke engineering student that can't afford the expensive mod

Hahaha, your car actually looks a lot like mine. I dipped my wheels, I'm about to lower on Eibach springs, and I even put the same blue LEDs in my doors. It's so rice.

Though I've got the Tanabe axle back and K&N intakes... deadly combination.

Thanks man! I'm planning on redoing the wheels in Anthracite metallic plastidip soon. Major tip on plastidipping is to keep the nozzle at 4 inches away from the rim and have a wet coat once you're on the 3rd and 4rd coat, that way you don't get texture.

I think your headlight led mods are called ironman, angel eyes are like BMW halo rings.

Keep us posted for future mods! ^^

The iron man was not hard at all. It took me about 15 minute to tape the LED behind each bezel on the headlight. The coupe bezel is extremely convenience at hiding and fitting these LED. After that, I just tap it with the daytime running light (black goes to black and red goes to whatever other color runs into the light). I just use electrical tape lol. The harder part is the carbon fiber vinyl wrap. Since it was my first time, it took me three days to get it perfect.

Just find a cheap headlight from another car and practice opening it. TBH I practice 2 other times on an 2013 Avalon and my 2004 TL before I had the guts to open mine up lol. But all the headlights are very similar!!!

Nice work! I would prefer a less blue LED, a 5K perhaps.

Yeah I'm wondering too lol. I need some younger college aged dudes to cruise with! A lot of the G37s around me seem to be driven by older people...
