whose car is that^

i personally like the blacked out housings. have a paint guy throw down 2stage(black/clear) and i think you would like it too. what color G do you have?

as long as you are comfortable with removing the front bumper and seperating the headlight lens from the backing, you should have no issues getting this done for relatively cheap by a paint guy at an autobody/paint shop.

i got my headlights/grill/tailights done for 240.

Mike at Clear Corners, www.clearcorners.com, does some amazing things with our headlights and tail-lights, but he is VERY pricey.

I tried talking to Igor by messaging him on nyc, he never responds back, I'm guessing he's really busy.

Oh yeah, most definitely... Mike only does top notch work, but you also have to pay top notch prices. Paul, UGAexploder, on here just got his headlights done by Mike... He's still waiting to get them back, but is expecting to have them this week. I can't wait to see the pics once he posts them. Danny, UCLA Bruin, also does some nice work with our headlights... I just saw some head-lights he dd on Amplified Motorsports 370Z project car and they look sweet as hell... Your best off PM'ing him on MyG37, though, he's a sponsor over there and he isn't on Driver very often.

Good luck!

wait do clearcorners offer a painting service? because all I can see "Clear / LED Headlamp "Conversion" does that mean they place LEDs in the headlights? and where does painting come into this?

Oh yeah, Mike can do any type of painting you want. If you look on the Infiniti pricing page he shows pricing for gloss black, flat black, and factory color matched housings, but since every set of lights he des is a "one off" he can do basically any paint scheme you want. I'm going to have a custom paint scheme done on my headlights, along with the LED conversion, and the white / clear side marker lens.

Im looking for something like what you want. I sent some emails off, and waiting for thier current projects to be complete, so I can make my decision.
Let me know how yours comes out! I can still wait a bit, I just ordered replacement bulbs for all my exterior lights, and that set me back a little.

Honestly, if you know quiet a bit about basic painting, patience and some what artistic side and good with logical thinking.

DIY is the best. Its going to cost you around 20 dollars max for paint and sand and no need to prime on headlight housing.

Painting is my weak point... I suck at it! Id rather not mess up my lights, so Id rather go with someone with those skills! But your right, if I could I would.

Definitely! Will do, man... it's probably gonna be a couple of months before mine are done, but I will definitely post up some pics once they are completed.
