If you are in ATL, check with the G35Frenzy ppl. Perhaps they may have a local shop recommendation.

I'm sooo jonesing for a '06 headlight housing. Anyone know how much the bulbs are for the '06 housings?

Good Luck!

Headlights are back from the shop. They don't look much different than overlays. I opted to do something different from most. For those who don't want to go through the hassle of opening the headlight assemblies, Blue Batmobiles's GTR overlays are the right way to go. Pics below are painted in KH3 (black obsidian) by M.O.B. Works in Orange.
