N.Y.X. Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Tried to fix the headlights as much as possible from the last hack job... Did the 3m restore on the outside and used what was left on the inside of the lens after baking them. Some of the "chrome" was smeared off so I just blacked out all of it except the hi-beam shroud. Now just have to drill the holes in the bulb covers so the HID's will be sealed properly and they will at least be 2x better than what they were... http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t503/childreth13/IMG_20130914_163703_525_zps36e1a551.jpg http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t503/childreth13/IMG_20130914_163709_904_zps702ca503.jpg http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t503/childreth13/IMG_20130914_194718_465_zps48c7d7bc.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solo413 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Black grill looks nice, been thinking of doing mine as well, are you doing a wet sand on it for a smooth gloss black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Y.X. Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 It's the best way as if you don't like it, you can just peel it off!! The trick is a lot of light layers. You want to make sure it's on thick in the end as that's the only way it peels properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Y.X. Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 I used a "thumb" driver that worked really well with a knuckle and a spark lug socket. Seemed to be the perfect length. Mine isn't a rachet style (like the ones below) and has a much thinner grip because there is no mechanism: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-3-pc-1-4-3-8-1-2-Palm-Thumb-Wheel-Drive-Ratchet-Set-Socket-Tool-/140862910898 [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Powerbuilt-640858-U-Joint-4-Inch-3-Piece/dp/B004QO9D9A/ref=sr_1_2?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1379386530&sr=1-2&keywords=3%2F8+drive+joint]Powerbuilt 640858 U-Joint 1/4-Inch, 3/8-Inch, 1/2-Inch Drive Set, 3-Piece - Amazon.com[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really sucks, hope u ok bro Thanks guys, I'm ok; some guy just didn't yield to me when I had the right of way. I slammed on the brakes and he punched it and just connected with his rear driver side wheel at probably under 30mph.

masta jer Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 correct me if I'm wrong but i read on this site that the Perrin EL Headers "does not retain the boxer rumble" sound to our cars... This is the only reason I personally am thinking of steering away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Y.X. Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 That's correct. But it would not be the "boxer" sound that you're referring too, it would be the "unequal length header" sound. Porsche also uses a boxer engine and they don't have the sound you're referring to. For me it's about performance, not sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
