New headlights!

Got my new headlights and am happy with the look. I almost went with the chrome ones, but followed my wife's suggestion for something new. The only thing is that the driver's side was way out of place and when I was adjusting, it still looked different than the passenger side. Still I think it looks great. As follows:

1. before shot
2. starting proccess
3. little help from my boy
4. finished product
5. Night shot

You can see that the vinyl over lays started to burn after about 6 1/2 years. I'd get them again if I had bought the chrome headlights, but my suggested getting the black. That was a great idea, she thought a little change was good.

Later,

Ray

Hey. I needed and wanted new ones (prefferably stock projectors) and liked the price on these projectors. The other stuff is old and I never received any complaints over 3-6 years. Other than the 20" wheels, bumper and the headlights now, the exterior is all stock and will remain that way. I bought this car the very first month the G was released.

Been a member of this site since December 2002, so I've seen so much worse. It shows 2004 since the site upgrade.

Later,

Project:

You have the new GTR front end and Skyline 350 GT on the rear. Something is wrong there.

Joker:

Your car looks great with your front end choice and the wheels. I am really serious. We all pick things we like. we don't always fall in line as to what everybody else thinks we should have on our G's.

I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything,,, just noticing.

Later,

Ray

To each his own... Its something different, not blacked out housings like everyone and their mommas. Ive seen guys shower their headlights with led's everywhere and people love those.

You should come to the meet on the 23rd, its a sedan meet but a bunch of coupes will be there as well, it'd be nice to see them in person

LMFAO at the payback on the GTR front guy....
