I really like the look, alot....What would HID do in there?

 

Not sure but I really want to get going on that this summer...

also decided to smoke out the front side markers...



next step = rims and paint.

 

how'd you smoke your front side markers (like steps and what paints) ? just curious, as i might want to do that in the future ...

 

Just popped them out...

pushed side maker towards front of car and pulled outwards, popped right out...you can also get to it from the wheel well...

I then I used Black Stained Glass Paint. (pick up at walmart/paint store). Sanded the marker down and put a couple coats on.

Easy as that...took maybe 10-15 minutes, the just let paint dry.

 

oh wow ok i never knew they popped out so easily. good to know.
sorry to go off topic, but is the sanding really necessary ? and any clear coat ?

 

Sanding will help clean the area and somewhat scuff the surface up to help the paint stick...just really quick it a fine grain sand paper. No clear cloat used...side marker is small enough I didnt worry about it, plus the stained glass paint leaves a nice glossy look.

 

cool stuff.

 

woo, I got my headlights all taped and ready to go! i just need to get the Krylon "High-temped" black spray paint tomorrow and ill be READY TO GO!! cant wait!

 

wow, that really does look great! especially with HID's.

 

You should do a write up on the fox re-wire.

 

Not feeling the black. Maybe if they were color matched to the car? I don't think the trade off for the "look" is worth the loss of night time vision. Would it not been easier and not so permenent to just do black coverlays? Or just do around the outer edges so you'd still have some reflective chrome left.
