Few new upgrades!!
Few new upgrades!!
Ive been a reader of the forum for over a year now, and 6 months ago got my 04 OB coupe. Just recently debadged, tinted tails, painted headlights and did 20mm spacers up front and 25mm spacers in the rear. Next is a drop with a lip or a nismo front.
Tell me what you guys think and thank you so much for all the help!
If you don't like the HDR look, i completely understand, just got PS CS5 and had to give it a shot. lol

Yea im pretty happy with how the clearance strip turned out. If you have taken your headlight apart you know that there is the large light diffusing piece of plastic that yellows which sits inside a metal reflector. I removed that diffuser and then frosted the back of the clear plastic piece that mounts in the bezel. Krylon makes a spray frosting that makes it look like etched or frosted glass. In the reflector i used a pure white LED strip which now evenly lights the strip from top to bottom.
Yea i understand that, not too many do. When i got them done i made sure he didn't make them black because i wanted a little contrast. During the day you can still see a tint of red in them when the sun hits and i think it looks great. Photoshop really exaggerated how dark they are. On the same note, i'm very happy he convinced me to spray them, instead of the film. The spray has an absolutely perfect shine and can be waxed just like the rest of the car, plus it was only $100 instead of $200 for the film. As you can see he also sprayed the corner lights.
Forgot to mention, but i'm sure everyone noticed, the grill is painted semi-gloss black.

Spacers make a world of difference. And your headlights look well too. Doing them that way makes them pop out, I think. I'm just not a fan of the 03-05 reflector style head lights though. But, kudos to you for doing something different and out of the norm.
Car looks great. Now drop that thing!

Yea i absolutely love the spacers, look great.
Here is a Pic from the day i bought it:

Definitely changed the look of it.
BTW the "red" light is the amber bulb shining through the tint on the corner lights. Through the saturation changes and what not, it looks kinda red.
