well, everybody knows what these headlights look like before...crappy...so I had them dipped and zinc/gold coated, and then I polished the retainer rings on my wheel
(IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Skate_4_Detention/Porsche/1-1.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Skate_4_Detention/Porsche/3.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Skate_4_Detention/Porsche/5.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Skate_4_Detention/Porsche/6.jpg) those pics also include my hood hinges and some fog light parts too...but, then I bought new screws and clips from ace hardware...hehe and rebuilt them (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Skate_4_Detention/Porsche/9.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Skate_4_Detention/Porsche/8.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Skate_4_Detention/Porsche/7-1.jpg) they look pretty and will be functional...I will not be using the headlight motors also since they weigh a lot, and I will be custom fabbing some lifters out of bike cables, just thought I'd share the success |
