Thanks.

Rain finally cleared up in Socal, so I got a few daytime shots now.






Build shots.

Thanks, it's Duplicolor metalcast blue paint painted over the chrome. You may want to consider a clear primer though, since it flakes easily. I tried to do my version of the Honda Insight blue headlights.

Did I read that right; 6-8 months of work? Oh wow. I expected about a month, maybe 2 max. But then again I have no idea how the process is, so I'm sure there is a great amount of work involved.

I work really slow, sometimes I don't work on it for weeks at a time due to commitments at my regular day job.

These retrofits usually take about 80-100 hours of labor, so that would be two weeks if that's all I did for those days.
