That video is true but thats because he took it apart a million times. When I was doing retro took me 10 minutes to remove it the first time. After I started testing the headlights and whatnot it took me few seconds to disconnect it everytime, never needed a screw driver for it after.

Baking them is easy, I was so worried when I did mine but it came out MUCH easier than expected.

Please paint it glossy black, flat looks too plasticy and dull.

When I did mine I liked it flat black (primer only) then I decided to proceed with black paint, so glad I did

Before


After

 

I wanted the flat because I wanted it to be set apart from the glossy black of the bumper and hood of the car. I'd honestly still like flat black to be contrasting but buying two diff types of flat black paint and going through the entire process it always looks good in overcast or dim light but then way too gray in sunlight.

 

im a fan of gloss black. flat black in the head lights looks cheap

 

I put this little guy on:

 

Is that carbon fiber wrap? Can you please show us

 

Yeah that looks sick. I'm gonna cf wrap the two aluminum pieces in my 05 interior. How do they come out? just with a pry tool? Ive searched everywhere and every diy has the pieces out already.

 

I was aligning the front end.
look how bad it's aligned.




also plastidipped my wheels.


each wheels take about half a can. so 2 cans will get them nice.
I'd buy 3 cans just incase.
also plastidipped my emblem.
came out like **** but I was too mad to do it again so I left it.

wasn't able shave the letters
also I got a black mesh grill for behind the bumper holes.well it was gray but I painted it.
I found it outside the junkyard once and I picked it up and took it, knowing its be useful one day. ha

 

which ones?

 

Waiting for end of snow season!

 

I filled up my windshield washer fluid and used the last of my good tire shine. Then it down poured

 

Wash, Wax and covered it!!

 

spark plugs. found a tad bit of oil in cylinder 3 but not much.

 

Painted the Hats on the new Z1 Rotors

Cleaning out the garage to hopefully get the g in there to get started finally!

 

Finished my CF wrap mod. Just wanted to do the aluminum center console for now. I'd do the door pulls if I had black interior and door panels but to me the CF would look weird on my slate interior.

 

It wouldn't look any more weird than the CF center console, which looks good btw.
