spikedjack Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Got a small niggly job done the weekend by removing and wire tucking the HID system as in Japan it was done with no form only function in mind lol! Both sides were like this: Forgot to take one of the drivers side Now: Eventually I'll stick the battery and fuse box in the boot but for now this makes it look a lot more stock/tidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikedjack Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Thanks konrad, nice to meet you dude! Abz, Yeah, i mounted them to the chassis legs under the headlights and re earthed them to some existing bolts there, just tidies it up a touch i think I do have a spare set that have less wiring for them however its all neatly stored now, and invisible while the lights are in so i'll keep them as spares for now.

Nice, does certainly look very OEM. This is on my to do list but I don't get a free weekend and some decent weather to carry out the work. Normally get one or the other!

spikedjack Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Headlights were looking a little dull/yellow so i've decided to split and polish them up Split: Polished: Drivers side done, passenger side next: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathWraith Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 wow definately a noticable difference there mate, good work. I have just installed some HIDs and have just bunged them out of the way, I need to mount them properly really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Looks sweet dude, I love the red, Supras really suit it. I'm trying to build up the courage to split my facelift lights and clean them up. Did you oven then or heatgun? Looks brilliant btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikedjack Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 Fitted my RMM /MVP / wings west lip from the group buy today. Needs painting but on the whole happy with it. Pain in the arse to get right, especially on your back on axel stands! Also the trim tape that came with it was crap lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB-GTE Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 If you shaved the sides on the lip I think it would look supr clean :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Gonna keep the ears and just paint it, I think without them they look like cheap VR6 splitters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I personally think shaved ears look more clean and smooth, most the yanks run clean ears . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I personally think shaved ears look more clean and smooth, most the yanks run clean ears . i thought that too , looks abit ugly in the wheel arch at the moment. the whole car is perfect and the lip looses it down, if it was shaved so the wheel arch is perfect again it would look alot better could be the way the photo is maybe from the side its not as bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
