Photoshoot Teasers I got just now

just read entire journal.

love what you've done so far, if i were you' i'd paint headlights black, shave front end/or darken chrome on emblem, paint FMIC black. and go back to having clear DRLs would look cleanest IMO.

here is what my front looks likes, glad to see others painted the DRL's, did you use a film? i tried all kinds of films and they never stuck so i painted.

don't mean to thread jack:

To get the brigher boomerangs, did you have to bake open the headlights and replace the existing LEDs with brighter ones or was this a rewiring of the system?

Yes they did need to be baked open in order to enhance the brightness, and this was not new LED's @marcoferrer can better explain what he did because I still don't know

Thanks a lot if you can't tell I was some what influenced by your build

I might paint the headlights black in the future so the boomerang stands out more. I thought about shaving the front emblem when I had the body work done in the front but it was too late by the time I thought about it. As for the yellow DRL's unfortunately they are film and they do not stick like you said lol so I might go back to clear or paint them yellow not sure yet.

PS. Congratz on the cleanest GBS IMO

Did you leave your oil cap off at some point?

It's a DIY in the forum. It involves baking headlights open and modifying the headlight circuit for higher output and heat management.
