Hey guys and gals, I was just wondering if anyone knows of a shop in the bay area that would be good with painting my headlights to match the body color? I looked in one of the stickies for NorCal but the only guy I saw was all the way in Sac-town =( Thanks for any help. I might want custom headlights as well but first the paint.

 

Lightwurkz in daly city or I can do it for you if its the 2nd generation G

 

are you interested in doing it yourself? I know a guy that's closer but i'm not sure if he does it anymore

 

Not Chris (Papa)

Your best bet is to bake the lights and take em apart and just bring the housing to any shop. There are many good shops in the area that will spray them for you. Get them back and slap em back together.

 

Nah, knowing me, I would do a horrible paintjob lol. Looking for someone reputable to do it.

 

Well since I don't know what you mean by baking the lights, I can already tell I shouldn't try this alone =P

 

I do indeed have a 2nd gen sedan, how much do you think it'd cost?

 

Baking the lamps is simply placing it in the oven (kitchen oven) to break the seal between the front clear housing and the back housing. This allows you to separate the housing you want painted, which you bring to a shop for paint. Once it's painted. Put the lights together, and bake them again to soften the plastic enough so that you can reseal the lamps.

On a difficulty scale of 1/10, it's about a 3/10. As long as you're careful not to snap anything, and neatly place all pieces in a place where they won't get lost.

 

Luckily for me I got Weiboy718 who said he'd help me out with it lol. So I won't have the chance to break anything haha.

 

oh nice. Eric is the boss when it comes to this custom stuff.

be sure to flirt with him. sexy bic boi yeahhhhh

 

Yeah definitely, he sent me some pics of the work hes done and I am definitely convinced. I just gotta put together the extra cash to get it done =)

Hahaha I like your style

 

^Eric is a great guy and does awesome work

Oh man that looks sweet. Can all that be done to the 2nd gen g35 sedan as well? I know the halo ring can like you said, but everything else just makes it that much better.

 

whoops
