TOP WORK MAN!
I wanna do it, but im too worried i will stuff it up....... man they look the shit! Seriously, im thinking of just going for it and doing it ...
All you need now is a nice grill!
gdluck MrPlow :D
haha ben i'm getting a new frontbar so the grill is going as well :D...
also, just a word of thanks to those on OH who assisted in the thread i posted before bout the frontbar removal, made the job a little easier for me :D
hahah ben!! just you wait!! ray has a treat for us all really soon!! :D:D:D
nice work Ray...looks bewtiful :)
does it reduce the brightness of the head light at all?
I did the same thing, except I haven't blacked out the corners...
and no it doesn't affect brightness...I have actually cut the *prongs* that surround the bulb and it is alot brighter than before.....

Looks good. Lots of ppl are doing this now.
Yeah i did this with my headlights.... looks sweet aye :P
I might give it a try.
However i'll use a gunmetal like colour spray and some sellys allclear.
haha, i thought you were joking about putting it in the oven :shock:
Yea I used Shelly's allClear aswell....I put mine in the oven, but be careful if using the oven method....
yeah, if you have non-genuine headlights, they will meltQuote:

nonetheless, it relatively cheap method:)
good find:)
i actually tried to get genuines... they are hard to find for the 96-98 model (couldn't find them) and are like $900+ for a set?....
no way man.
I can get you a set of genuine EK9 headlights for $400-500 delivered.
Let me know if you want the real ones and i'll speak to my contact.
they are abt USD$380 actual market rate, there abt...but seriously unless you have a 99+ with the facelift, then its worth changing provide your are a JDM whore, else the difference for the 96-98 headlight CTR vs Ek4 is only very slight tint diference, take an expert or someone who has seen a real one to know that difference:)... well if money is not an object, then the change is just a bling/JDM whore factor else, i say save the money for better mods;)
fashion over function ;)
correcto:)
yep...I actually had second thoughts about spraying it full black...I reckon gunmetal looks better, and buying actualy JDM CTR's is a waste of money, unless u r a JDM whore as EKNINE said... :PQuote:

If you want the real ones i can get them :)
about $550AU delivered
(my previous price was out a bit )
i based my rate on ebay:) though, but 550 is a good buy when i got mine it in the lesser range of 550 shipped:)
