It should be done by tomorrow. If the dust storm settles down, I should have the car cleaned and pics taken in a few days.

Nice! I didn't know you could take that insert out! I want to do the exact same thing. I like LEDs but the thought of them burning out makes me just want to keep it simple.

I was trying to figure out why these looked so weird, then I realized they are from a V36 haha.

Looks good man, lucky to have a nice oven!

LOOL, who said $1,400??? that's the price for 1 headlight in kuwait, in USA both of them sells for something between $2,000 and $2,200.


Btw hurry up and post the pics, even if the car is dirty, i want to see them, wash your car later and take it for a photo shoot and let's see the pictures, my next photo shoot should be with rims and bbk.

Here's some quick pics. Just need a sport bumper and paint the grille and I'm done with the front end. It looks way better in real life BTW. I'll try and get better pics soon.














The color is somewhere between flat black and semi-gloss black. for those who were asking, the cost is 70K.D.

Thanks! well, these pics really don't do it justice. you have to see it in person and you can decide. Maybe someone can PS my car to Blue Slate so you can get a quick idea?

EDIT: i just logged on to MyG37 and this album showed up in the gallery. You're lucky haha

It looks really good in black IMO. Should look even better with your open mouth grille since it will match the aggressive looks.

Hmmmmm, i'll go to them on Saturday morning and tell them to paint it in black, i think it should look better, color matched headlight would look better on white or red.

Btw can you pay me a visit tomorrow at my work in south surra so i can see them in person? Give me a call if ur coming.

Edit: pm Defratos and link this thread.
