Hey there guys, im a new member so ill take time to say hey,
im Bruno and im from Quebec canada. this being said,

after reading up many post, i have deceided to paint my headlights black and i also have to paint my calipers.
if any 1 has some heads up to give me! feel free!

Also i have a question, I purchased some 19" inches, tires will be 245-35-r19, and i also bought the eibach pro-kit, im wondering if ill have any fitment issues, i doubt but still let me know!

 

hey Bruno, im doing my lights next weekend with some angel eyes and painting the housing black.... make sure to close those lenses good... dont want any water getting inside them.... also dont forget to put a towl or card board down on the cookie sheet when you bake your lights..

 

sweet will do! .. im planning to tint the side markers, ill try to get some window tint and put it over.. im wondering if it could actually work.. any 1 thinks it's a good or bad idea ?

 

If I was you I'd go with the 245-40-19's. It will fill your wheelwells better and improve ride quality (your speedometer will also remain true).

As far as rubbing--as long as you have the right offset, there will be no problems at all.

 

+35 offset so i should be ok!

yeah .. the tire are already ordered .. here's the link to the pacakage ... very cheap and GREAT cx service.

will post pics once there installed on the ride!

 

the rims might be cheap but good luck buying tires!! (when these wear out)

 

Use the spray smoke tint for the side marker. I tried some of the standard window tint and it started to get creases in it before I sealed up the lights but it does look awesome with the tinted side markers.

 

I got the idea from Kenji and went with the carbon fiber chrome over the side markers:






A lot of guys like the darker colors, and Autozone did have a regular carbon fiber film as well. You might want to check that out too.

As far as that towel goes, you probably want to put a damp wash cloth or towel over you headlight lens. There is a very thin outer layer over the lens that can melt easily. (Trust me on that one) I also took the rack out of the over while I pre heated it so when you put the light in, it's not sitting on a hot rack. Good luck.

(Wildman, I still haven't got to my resistors yet Once I finish getting my garage cleaned out then it's back to action)

 

Bruno make sure that its legal on your place not to have amber on your car..... Cuz you dont want to get any ticket son..... on painting the headlights.. take your time on doing this MOD... make sure you seal it really goot....

 

thanks guys!!! im done right now... the headlight is in the oven to be sealed!!!
and yeah carbon fiber on the side marker its done! ... and it looks amazing .. since my car is black went with the black side markers, i will post pics tomorrow...it started to rain so bumper isn't in place yet.
this is a really fun mod to do. and for 20$ in parts ( CF sticker sheet and the paint it self) it's an amazing results!!
tomorrow will be painting the calipers, a lot easier mod heh ...

ps... do not drink to much beer doing this ... i forgot to put the plastic back in the last headlight... i had to reopen it and stuff... but it's done now! hehe

 

ROFL ..... i agree.....

 

hey there!
sorry for the delay! here's some pics of the headlights..







for the calipers.. it rained here in quebec, therefore i had to postponed the project...

I however painted those plastic covers in the engine bay red... looks amazing ... ill try to take come pics if it's nice outside!

p.s those stains on the headlights are now gone.. it was some goo sticked on there i was able to buff it away !

 

wow man... looks good...how long did it take u

 

Hey that came out real nice. That darker CF looks perfect on there. Post up some day pics when you can.

 

thanks guys! .. i will post day pics very shortly !
as far for the the time it took ... id say 5 hrs... thats if i don't count friend comming to see me and distract me from my work .... also had to go to canadian tire (i think this is the canadian autozone). but honestly every second was worth it :P

 

Looks good make sure you get those 40's instead of 35's becuase the ride will be crappy plus to much gap, reason is ive tried it already

 

sh*t it's already ordered, but it's ok next set will be 245-40-19. i just can't wait for them to come in!! .. guys, i got a question, i was about to order eibach springs, but now im wondering.... wich springs would you guys suggest me... im looking to get handling and looks over the confy ride. ive nice comments on progress springs ... let me know what you guys think... i also looked in the discount forum and ill be ordering from there, very good prices ( i usually go on ebay).
P.S ... don't get mad :P i have researched the forums and still im not sure wich springs to go with.

 

Welcome to the Org.

 

thanks chern! congrats for you're 1st place!

 

Thanks for the props...

 

Hey Bruno, if you're ever in the west end of Montreal...stop by the Orange Julep (Décarie and Jean Talon) on the 1st Monday of the summer months (Next one June 2nd) that's the NP club (Nissan Performance club). We all meet there. Or any Thursday Night at the Julep during the summer. Actually I should check out Wednesdays when the weather is better as that is retro night too...40's 50's 60's etc. Thursday is Tuner Night. Also on Friday Night and Saturday Night on the corner of Lucien-Thimens just one block south closer to Cote Vertue/ and Marcel Laurin, there is a car wash hosting Tuner Parties with hot gurlz, food, energy drinks, contests, door prizes etc. I am going to try to check it out this week. I will be at the Julep tomorrow night.


PM me for more details...we could get together have a beer and talk mods!
