    3rd brake light led

    I was one of the few that bought one of Roger's LED 3rd Brake Lights using our OEM housings. They were designed to match his custom tails if you're familiar with his work. Here are the sample pics in a tan housing (mine is in the dark charcoal housing) from his Groupbuy on V6P back in the day:

    Retrofitting headlights

    Got it, should have clicked on the second link instead of assuming he was trying to copy the other retrofit. Sorry. Shame to use those parts, but oh well. lol

    Retrofitting headlights

    H1 bulbs? Why not D2S? I'm confused, must be missing something here. Are you talking about pre-retrofit for your stock headlights, or using H1 bulbs with TSX projectors?

    Wtb:retrofitted headlights (fl)

    Good idea, as long as you watch some tutorial videos and take your time they should turn out pretty nice without spending too much. Plus you wouldn't have to worry about the quality of the retrofit from buying a used set from someone...some are amazing, and some not so much (especially on a budget).

    Oh okay, nevermind then. Good luck, you might want to consider building a set yourself. They're not too difficult nowadays if you're willing to use certain parts.

    6GA Coupe Custom LED Retrofit Tail-Lights

    There must be some confusion then. I didn't remark on anything having to do with the LED color, simply the type of outer taillight lens and how that lens affects the output & clarity.

    6GA Coupe Custom LED Retrofit Tail-Lights

    Yes, the red tinted clear lens will show considerably more light output and without it looking distorted as well. I was referring to vouching for the clear altezza lens with red tint film as opposed to a factory OEM light. Someone else on here has done a side-by-side comparison using LEDs...

    6GA Coupe Custom LED Retrofit Tail-Lights

    Trying stuff like that may or may not be worthwhile, most of the flexible LEDs aren't nearly bright enough to look good, but my main argument would be with using the original red OEM lenses. They don't allow clean light output, so using fine light output sources such as LEDs becomes somewhat...

    6GA Coupe Custom LED Retrofit Tail-Lights

    Contact Rich @ HIDIllusionz (http://hidillusionz.blogspot.com), he's a good guy that I can vouch for as he's completed several retrofit projects of mine (including the quad-projector setup). Building lights like this @Brad2274 isn't impossible, but quite difficult. Making the boards, sourcing...

    6GA Coupe Custom LED Retrofit Tail-Lights

    They're not mass-produced, but now that the first set has been made the person/company that made them can make a set for the next buyer easier & quicker. I'm sure they were over $1k+, but he offers lifetime warranties on his stuff so if an LED fails it's not really an issue. The person/company...

    Never seen these...if you like CF interior bits

    These parts have been around for years, but it's nice that they're still getting some exposure. Clearcoating them for UV protection is a must, but it doesn't make them resistant to yellowing/fading. That problem actually starts within the resin underneath the clearcoat. A good clearcoating...

    Re-spray, Ferrari colours anyone?

    Look into Lamborghini colors if you're looking for something exotic. However, the paint color will only be as good as the quality of the paint you're using, along with the quality of the prep work. Good luck.

    Help me figure out this build or find the owner.

    The most epic retrofit you will ever see... KnightRyder Lights 2.0

    Looks like a perfect retrofit for a 4cyl engine bay. A 6cyl engine bay will require some relocating and/or tucking. Good luck bro. My retros stick out quite a bit as well, but I was fortunate to have the necessary room available to me. You'll figure it out. :-) The X6 was definitely not the...

    The most epic retrofit you will ever see... KnightRyder Lights 2.0

    Saw an MDX the other day with those headlights and immediately drooled. To think they'll be on your car, Vimal, is very gratifying. Great purchase, can't wait to see the progress you make with these. Might want to keep copies of your steps along the way, in case I have you make a second set if...

    J32 swap on a F23 engine bay?

    a v6 k-frame, yes...due to the engine/tranny mounting points. You should be able to find a k-frame at a salvage yard for $100-200 tops, maybe a lot less if you're lucky. Don't confuse an entire car frame with the engine bay k-frame.

    J32 swap on a F23 engine bay?

    It can be done, you'll need all the usual parts along with a v6 k-frame.

    Sounds like you're describing my front bumper then.

    Down but never out

    Gotcha, I've seen it done before with silver...can certainly look nice. I thought you might try to make your own transparent mixture of the basecoat & clearcoat, it wouldn't be impossible but it sounds like you've got your mind made up. Keep up the good work bro. :-)

    Down but never out

    Shoot me a message on FB Vimal, would like to discuss the CF painting...curious about your plans since you're using a 2-stage paint, that'll make things a bit more complicated. You'll either have to mix your own "candy" to make it a transparent color, or are you actually intending on lightly...
