hey, blackciv. it is header, not headers. damn, learn someday....blackciv said:
The paint was only $40 for 2 quarts....the clear coat was $120. Then a friend of mine owns a custom shop, so he let me use his paint booth/paper&tape for $65. Then another friend of mine painted it for $100. You can do the math, but it was a pretty good deal.
hmm....i agree with the rest. get those sides and rims off!
wow very aggressive frotn bumper, Looks pretty good though. I think you should lose the tail lights though, thats just not cutting it in my opinion, put the stock ones back on or something. I like the rear bumper alot...
paint those tail lights black they'll look sooo much better. I painted mine peep it

Aint nothing wrong with a mean mugg... hehe.. I also think the paint is in dire need of being color sanded then hooked up with some wax and so on. Its just looking flat, as in no life in the paint. It should jump out and slap ya.
Just my two cents

:I was thinking about painting the housing black, but I wasn't sure if that clear cover came off without breaking it. Does it just snap on and off or something, or did you just buy they lights with the black housing already? I know they come already black, but I dont have the extra money to buy new lights right now. If the cover does come off easily, I have some of the black paint and a ton of clear left over. I may paint the headlight housing too depending on how easy it is. I just don't want my unexperenced self to break somethin.ray ray said:

1 remove the tail lights
2 remove any bulbs and clean them
3 heat you oven to about 250 degrees
4 place the taillights in he oven for 7-9 mins
5 remove the lights from the oven and use a flat head screwdriver to separate the clear cover from the backing. “Go slow “
6 know that the 2 pieces are apart use the same screwdriver to remove the excess epoxy from the grooves in the backing “ this makes for a good clean reseal”
7 Now you can either remove the red clear plastic on the Altezzes or cover then with tape “I removed mine 1 more minute in the oven took care of that there they were held in place with epoxy”
8 Give the plastic another thorough cleaning and they’re ready to paint.
Use whatever color you want and give the paint time to dry thoroughly.
9 Use a clear bathtub or fish tank epoxy to reseal just reverse the steps except for the oven parts give the epoxy time to dry before you reinstall the lights.
Total time 3-4.5 hrs
Oh do one piece at a time so they all don’t cool of and you have to repeat the steps and you can concentrate better. Hope this helps.
Nice Dude. But Loose The Altezza's And Dont Get A Wing.
