Due to some recent fogging issues resulting in some waterspots on my lenses
I'm forced to open them up,
Just picked up some new headlights for the rebuild and am thinking bout wrapping the headlight shrouds in some of my green reflections carbon fiber


Opinions?

 

oh yeah **** yeah

 

I know that feel on the water spots

 

Don't talk about it. Just do it.
It'll look sick as hell!

 

that sounds awesome! it would definitely be unique!

 

It may b difficult to keep weave perfect with all the turns. But would looks ****! Do it!

 

It would deff be a first. I say go for it.

 

your greens already look sick as hell. I wanna do mine orange.

 

That'll look really good!

 

Wouldn't care bout keeping the weaves perfect other then the bottom flat part tbh

 

But I was thinking of doing some bondo work to smooth out some tight corners to help matters lol

 

"You can't do that" or "Its impossible to do that"


Are phrases Chris Dalacker does not recognize.




Haha! Props to most awesome custom works seen here on the forums IMO

 

Sub'd

 

That would help. I know of a lil trick that could help smooth out the corners but Idk if I would use it on headlights. Not sure if it would get in the way of bulbs or not

 

I'm just curious... has anyone ever hydro-dipped the shrouds with a carbon fiber pattern? I wonder if it would hold up to the heat.

Also, I never read up on your headlight build... did you reuse the sealant or did you use the good stuff like oci-butyl rubber?

 

I used butyl from trs

 

Gonna smooth out around the turn signal reflector bowl and the corner nearest the grill on the main reflector bowl

 

^ Are those the ones you did? I was gonna say Maven did 2 sets wrappen in CF, they looked awesome man!

 

Those r mavens, there hydro dipped not real carbon

 

headlight shroud as in for the projector? or are you doing the physical housing?

 

As in the picture above, projector shrouds will stay green

 

Those hydro fiber dipped ones are badass! I may just have to look into getting that done

 

Will b my winter project then need more resin first

 

Ya I remember Maven doing the housing, I was talking about the actual shroud that goes around the projector.

I think Maven ended up selling the ones he got dipped... do you know how they held up by any chance?

 

I can hydrodip things, but i think a real weave would look much better (if you can physically pull it off given the contours of the headlight). Hell doing a hydrodip of the cobalt headlight is difficult enough as is and the imperfections would bother me (like the ones I can see on the set above)
