^^did you use a heat gun or the oven method? I wanna do mine too. Hope to see you at the meet.

Octane Joe 03-10-2006 11:39 AM

good job, can't wait to see the finished product :sweet:

nighthawk1903 03-10-2006 11:41 AM

All I did was use a razor to cut the glue an a screw driver to spread it apart took me about40 minutes to get to the painting part, it was simple!!!!!!!!

What kind of paint are you using? I would like a glossy look. I haven't put them together yet so I still have time to change.

ragingSPAM 03-10-2006 11:45 AM

if u use a heat gun it takes about 15 mins for both headlights

nighthawk1903 03-10-2006 12:23 PM

I did a high heat base coat(2), with a gloss black second coat(2)

texascivic2k1 03-10-2006 01:12 PM

What brand did you use for the gloss black paint?

razor blade?...i'm gonna have to do this on my retro...i hate the oven method. did you reseal it?

lxcivic2k1 03-10-2006 02:54 PM

When I cleared my headlights, I used a razor blade to get the glue apart and a screw driver to spread it completely apart and just used silicon to seal it up, didn't bake it or anything. Leak free for a year and a half.

Whats with the fuzzy pictues?

Just thought i would try to take some better pics (different camra) It's a little dark my car wet,I love Rain....., Hope these are better, But i know there still not the best..........

Mutha Fn FBM 85 03-11-2006 12:15 PM

dang your car looks so hot compared to before!

nighthawk1903 03-11-2006 12:27 PM

Thanks i'm trying to get my shit together an make it something somebody would be proud to call there own.....I'm liken it!!!!

so what else should be done i'm thinkin of putin on some kaminari side skirts an rear lip to go with my front lip??? But idk


Oh, an give me some rep i don't know the use of it but whatever, everybodies always askin for it.

4_door_fury 03-11-2006 12:29 PM

id go wit oem, looks cleaner IMO, kaminari is nice too tho i guess its just a personal preference, do what you think looks best.. little things u can do to make it look alot better wud be sidemarkers, yellow lamin-x.. but that all depends on the look your going for.

dp_yz713 03-11-2006 01:42 PM

good job on the lights and lip. i think some different rims would flow better with the car. they just look to aggresive for the rest of it imo.

but hell wheels arent cheap so do what YOU like. you will be more satisfied :tup:

soonercivic 03-11-2006 04:42 PM

Looks good. When I did mine I used NHBP paint and a clear coat. Matches the car perfectly. Keep up the good work.

IrockCivics 03-11-2006 08:56 PM

I did my new head lights yesterday

Octane Joe 03-14-2006 05:24 PM

looks great man! IMO, a OEM style sides and rear would probibly flow well w/ that lip, the the other style lip would look sweet too! Just a sugestion, you might want to look into tinting your tails too, then you will have all black, very hot IMO! keep up the good work! :rockon:

nighthawk1903 03-14-2006 07:24 PM
