just installed the cefiros. sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.

first 2 pics are my father's 5th gen with LED aftermarket tails.

 

Coming along . Any gaps on the cefiros?

 

actually yeah a small gap, towards the corner lights. what is that about?

 

Typical for chinese aftermarket crap. Same issue with mine. I learned to live with the gap.

 

So its not cefiros?

 

some more pics after a much needed wash.

 

Nice!

Time to move that license plate to the trunk

Are the license plate lights wired up?

 

on the trunk? no unfortunately not..i started another thread, maybe u might have the answer to my question. still waiting on a paycheck for the suspension parts

 

It looks good!! Other than the double license plate slot???

 

yeah i still have yet to find a solution for that..

 

Worst case scenario have a body shop mold some plastic and fill it in.

Responded to your other thread

 

that's what i was thinking of doing. i doubt it's going to cost me a lot. any body shop recommendations?

 

Ultimate Collision in Edison, NJ. High quality shop - they do exclusive work for Ferrari, Maserati, etc.

The good thing about your current bumper is that the work needed is all plastic, the chrome trim remains intact and doesn't have to be modified.

 

Yea, I would go see a body shop for sure. It would look super clean after its done. They might even be able to fiberglass it too?? Not sure? Never had to fill in a license plate hole before....lol! Either way, I'm sure it's cheaper than buying a whole new bumper+shipping+painting.

 

WOuld love to see if you go through with it.

 

ok this is what i did a few years back with my camaro, don't know if it will work on the I30 as the plastic is a little differant

1: fill in unwanted plate pocket with a medium foam

2: overlay with fiberglass

3: fill and finish as normal

it realy held up for me on the camaro (good 6 years) and no one knew the differance or could put a finger on what i did to it. You will probably have better results with the cross bar then the bumper (less flexing)

 

looks good so far, save for the double plate. I had the chinese cefiro lights too, they look dope but couldnt see **** at night...even with HID's. I switched back to stock housings with the HID's and just blinded everyone...yours any brighter?

 

today was the first night with them and HIDs, and I really couldnt see anything. I am going to try to see if it is possible to align the lights. I had more visibility with my stock heads and stock bulbs

 

any pics?

 

hey thanks man. ill def try to get a quote from them.


yeah i love the lights but i despise the 2 license plate spots..

i just might go through with it!

 

indeed - sounds familiar....hopefully you can figure something out...other than going back to stock like I did. I even took out the reflector in the cefiro lights and still had no visibility with or without them....I eBay'd them about a month after I got them

 

oh i really love how your front bumper looks like. mine is different with you... hope so that I can get your bumper here in my country...

this is how my fr. bumpers looks like (I remove the orange glass inside the 1999-2000 cefiro headlight) :

 

looks nice man

 

thanks dude. Actually in the past I really want to bought a tail lamps like yours, but after found a 99-00 cefiro tail lamps, I choose the 99-00 tail lamps and I am safe for the "double license plate slot"

This is my tail lamp looks like (mine is gold one ) :

See!! Now that's hott guys! Way better solution than that double license plate slot business!! Nice man!

 

thanks dude. I just got a new headlight. Will post it (how it looks like on my car) next month ( I have to wait for HID right now).

this is a teaser for you all

hey man, is there any way that you could ship a set of those head lights to US? let me know, i have been trying to get my hands on those for a very long time!

 

hi, do you mean me?
If so, I am sorry but I am not selling these headlight because I just got it few days ago & I am waiting for my HID kits to come
I am same with you, that have been so long to get this headlamp. Once I found if there is anyone selling these headlight, I would let you know.
Thanks for your interest

 

i might switch it back to the originals and just tint the stock center garnish as dark as possible..

 

Why you want to back to stock? I think your tail lamps is also good looking. The problem is only the rear bumper.

anyway, this is a video that I found on youtube (And I just notice that this video also took in Indonesia, what a shame, I even have to watch many times to notice that this car is in my country ). Hope so you will like it

cars coming along nicely. keep those tails and the mid insert, just fill it in

 

anyway, i really like your bumpers looks like

i want this bumper

 

I pm'd and emailed him about a month ago still no response

 

He's definitely still around - last activity on the forum (based on his profile page) is just a couple days ago. Be patient I guess...

 

Empire, what bulbs are you using? I hope not the 9004, I got the same exact lights and the 9004's were so bad I laughed, and almost crashed... The h4s im usin now are much much better, but projectors win any day of the week. Our 97 i30's look awesome with those black cefiros, except my car seriously needs a drop. What springs you gonna run on the agx?

 

hey i'm using h4's, they are bright and all but i noticed a blindspot at the corners, i guess its bc of the blacked out housing. with fog lights, it's fine but i never got around to installing them yet.

H&R springs, a friend got me the parts I originally thought they were tein s techs, but i was wrong. I might try a projector retro in the future..

stock i30's look like an old man's car lol the cefiros give it a much needed face lift.
