I'm digging the look. Can't wait to see what it would looks like on the car.

While you wait on the angel eyes, you may want to check your bumper though....seems to be falling off

i just chucked the headlight in the oven to for 10 -15mins at 100c-150c at fanbake.
but try this at your own risk

by the way heatgun way does not work(i coulden't do it it didn't get hot enought to get it open) it lot easy using the oven the heat is more even rather then just one spot heating up .

Brettus asked me how to seal it back i am going to use the window sealing things what you use to stick front windows on and stuff does thing i just hope it works lol

by the way with the rear tail light they don't come off by just oven you pretty much have to destory the tail lights.

i will probley make a solid diy after i finshed this when i get does headlights out of my car. probley make diy for headlights and tail lights soon i am kind of running out of ideas lol

It depends on how much you wanted for them, I think... but depending on the price, I'd definetely be interested in a set. You could do more than just the WB, right?

looking for a fiberglass hood

i have been trying to find a fiberglass hood for a while. That i can have painted to match my car. I decided to go for fiberglass because of the cost of painting carbon fiber. I found one that i like so far but that has been about it

http://www.krazykustomzonline.com/04...6.html?image=0

Does anybody know where i can possibly find more of a selection?

Bump

Just stumbled upon this looks amazing, i've been thinking about trying this on my silver. I"m just worried about condensation if I don't get the seal right

Pics of the completed care would be nice to

Looks awesome!
