someone gave my car a black eye!!!

jo · Post by jo » Mon May 03, 2004 2:45 am

Half a jdm headlight conversion.... I'll have to drive around with one black eye until we can finish it tomorrow night. I think it looks pretty damn sweet, though. Well worth the nerve wrecking experience of putting 700 dollar HID headlights in the oven.

this next one looks funny cuz of the flash...

I told you, I told you, that shiot takes like 5 hrs per headlight---the EVO guys are right once again! I'm gonna do mine next sunday when i wake up and they should be ready by the time we go to the parents for dinner.
I told you you'd have a black eye for the whole week, ahahahahaha. Tell my cat i said what's up

hahaha hell naw.... we only couldn't finish becuase we ran out of paint and home depot wasn't open! You'll be seeing it FOERST hand, though, because my roommate comes back into town today [sucky:(] so I'll be invading your oven and paint spray facility....er laundry room;)

it looks so much better in person though...nice and tough! You should black out your old tail lights so they'll look like the MR ones. I like the taill lights you have, but you could always unload the painted ones on ebay for some money.

Sup nobody, your car going to look sweet ass when you get your headlight project finished. Had a friend that did his 98 Accord like that, some paint, oven and headlight=jdm look a like. Hope it turns out really good.

Well we just finished and it looks AWESOME! I'm really pleased with the results. The flat black paint sort of looks grey in some lights but most of the time it's nice and dark. She looks so tough now. I

it!

Looks good!

I'm very pleased with the results!

It was one of those things I knew we could pull off... but never having attempted it before, it made me a bit nervous (headlights in the oven???). Considering that the oven temp was only 200 degrees made me nerves settle a little. The real test will be after the rain... or should I say the seal test???

which colors did you end up buying???

Silent23 · Post by **Silent23** » Thu May 06, 2004 7:59 pm

I bought cans of Black, White, and a Silver. Wanted to do something unique, and everyone does black, but can't decide if white would look good or not. I've seen a white 02/03 with white headlight surrounds, but nothing else. And I picked up the silver in case i decided against the white or the black.

I just can't decide

What did you end up going with? I was at a martinis and manicure party at louis vuitton last night so I wasn't home until super late [and in no state to open headlights after the all the free liquor]...Sorry I missed your calls!

i was going to check your car in the garage this morning, but I guess you were already at work!

Silent23 · Post by **Silent23** » Fri May 07, 2004 12:23 pm

hey, where are you now....need your opinion on the lights. don't see your car, so i guess you aren't home. Gimme a call.
thanks,
john
