Raul G headlights and grille

Got some new wheels about a month back and got it dropped on Eibach Pro-Kit Springs shortly thereafter, but I finally got one of the mods I've wanted for a really long time.

Met up with Raul G this past weekend to get my headlights and grille done and I could not be happier with the outcome and overall experience. The man is a true professional at what he does. After discussing some different options, we decided to go with a matte black housing/side reflector and color matched the projector shroud. For the grille, we decided to go matte black. On the emblem portion, we went with a glossy finish to give it some contrast.

If anyone is debating whether or not to get this mod done, I would definitely recommend Raul for the job. Now, without further ado, here are the pictures:

just curious, would the headlights be more susceptible to leaks/condensation after it's been opened and resealed? anyone who has done this experience this in the long run?

If the housing is sealed right you don't have to worry about it. That's why I'm hesitant on touching mine. Something done by Raul though will not leak, he's done many members lights on the forum. Looks clean OP

the chances are high that they develop condensation, but if sealed properly there should be no issues.

Thanks Hasit, I'm glad you like the lights! Enjoy

so I guess the more appropriate question is...if done by you, the chances of condensation or leaks are pretty slim to none? if so, i may have it done. you're like 15 min from me.

Great color choices OP!

Raul did my headlights and I was originally very against any headlights mods for fear of condensation. But after he did them it changed the whole look of my G + no issues whatsoever! Def quality work...plus a picture by that wall legitimizes your G. Lol!

Not really feeling it. Raul does great work no doubt, but you really need contrast in there somewhere.

Raul strikes again, great job.

I got my headlights done by Raul a year ago, like other mentioned if sealed properly you shouldn't have any issues. Mines are perfect no leaks or Condensation

Only had them on for a day or two, but have had no problems so far. they seem really well sealed so I don't see this being an issue

That was one of the things Raul and I were debating before finalizing on the color combo. However, since I have a matte black/blue slate theme going on the car, we felt that that would be the best option.

Thanks good to hear and should reassure people who are still wondering whether or not to get this mod done.
