Painted heads and tails

[VIIIrs]

Well three of us here in columbus have painted our head lights and tail lights. here is how mine came out....paul and jarrod post your's too. I odn't think that mine are perfect but i think they came out well for me not being a pro:D

[Chemwarrior]

Looking good. They look much better painted.

[VIIIrs]

Thanks dan....I think it does look a lot better paul already had his done but i was hesitant because i thought the chrome looked good on white. so paul took one of his tails out and put it on my car and i was sold!

[Chemwarrior]

A lot of people have apprehension about opening up those items but once they realize just how easy it is they kick themselves for not doing it sooner. I'm considering doing my headlights on my Coupe and removing the Lamin-X due to a decrease in my light output. I'm sure I'll do it but I'm waiting until it warms up so the paint will adhere better. Did you guys use Krylon Fusion paint?

[VIIIrs]

we just sanded down the chrome and used flat black paint

There are some good how-to's on Evom.

[STGIIITsi]

To add to that there Mr. Dan honestly there are great write ups on most EVO forums. Not being a dick just making a statement for the newer guy.

[Chemwarrior]

ahhahahahahah true dat!!!!! i would be willing to help....it's really not that hard you kinda spaz a little bit when you do it though I know that much...i know jarrod could tell ya about it LMAO!

[Chemwarrior]

I did mine and helped out Brett as well so I have a little bit of experience. I could even bring my Dremel and heat gun.

[VIIIrs]

yeah it's not bad at all to do but i do know this BOTH OF MY HEAT GUNS WENT TITS UP AND I'M PISSED!

[Chemwarrior]

How do you fuck up a heat gun? :D

[VIIIrs]

very carefully i guess dude....it's a bunch of horse shit if you ask me

[Chemwarrior]

Hey! Quit stealing my phrases! Horse shit is mine and I didn't authorize you to use it. That's trademark infringement. Where's my $.25 for using it?

[VIIIrs]

^^^^^^^^That's horse shit DAN! BAM!!!!!!

[Chemwarrior]

$.50

That's right keep on adding to my retirement fund.

[em1toevo]

Dan did a great job with mine. I just need to reseal one of the headlights due to some condensation. It was late when we finished so we were hurrying, lol.

[Chemwarrior]

I had a feeling that I didn't seal it good enough. I'm glad you went back and took care of my mess.

[em1toevo]

I haven't done it yet because it's been too cold and rainy, but I am soon. :D

[em1toevo]

She looks "hotter than a 2 dollar pistol" after painting the heads and tails!

[Chemwarrior]

What??? Didn't we do this last spring?

[VIIIrs]

Bam!!!!

[Chemwarrior]

She looks "hotter than a 2 dollar pistol" after painting the heads and tails!

I wish Mitsubishi would have made them blacked out instead of the Alteeza look.

BTW do you have a mbc on your car Brett?

[em1toevo]

We did, but I didn't notice the condensation until it started to get cold in december.

[Chemwarrior]

Bam!!!!

Well that's not very nice.

[em1toevo]

I have it still sitting in a box in my garage along with my S.S. brake lines and Motul fluid...


:(

[em1toevo]

I wanted to wait to get a retune before I added the MBC.

What's stopping you from installing some of those items?

[VIIIrs]

well ya know don't get sassy with me!!!!! also i started to notice a little condensation yesterday in one of the tails but no biggie i'll just reaseal it this weekend!

[em1toevo]

Nothing is stopping be from installing the lines and fluid but free time and know-how, lol.

[Chemwarrior]

I wanted to wait to get a retune before I added the MBC.

And your brake stuff?

[Chemwarrior]

Nothing is stopping be from installing the lines and fluid but free time and know-how, lol.

It honestly takes one hour to replace your brake lines and bleed your fluid. If you need help I can assist you.

[VIIIrs]

:eek:VVVVV look at that....LMAO! I love that emoticon

[em1toevo]

Only an hour? That is too quick! Did you have them on your Evo, Dan?

[Chemwarrior]

I'm kind of bad at thread jacking. Just ask Ryan. :D

[VIIIrs]

ahahah i think it's funny

[Chemwarrior]

Only an hour? That is too quick! Did you have them on your Evo, Dan?

Yes. I replaced them a month before I traded in my car so I wasn't able to get the full effect out of them, but replacing them was really easy.

[Chemwarrior]

ahahah i think it's funny

You know what I think is funny?












































Your face!

[VIIIrs]

Oh no you ditint!!!!!

[Chemwarrior]

Baleedat!!

[VIIIrs]

this is horse shit....I know your getting old but tell me if u can read that
you may have to squint a lil...VVVVVVV

[Chemwarrior]

I had to put on my coke bottles but yeah I read it. Is gtfo Swahili or something?

[VIIIrs]

Mandarin but get the hint!!! HAHAHAHA

[Chemwarrior]

I didn't realize I had offended your delicate sensibilities. My apologies ma'am. I will gracefully remove myself from your discussion.

[VIIIrs]

well you know sometimes my vagina bleeds and i just want someone to listen!

[VIIIrs]

I do know we need to have another meet soon, and get more people there!

[Chemwarrior]

I'm trying to see about setting up another Dyno Day at Forged. I have a bunch of interested Gen Coupe owners that want to get dynoed.

[VIIIrs]

that'd be cool i'm kinda curious what i would put down on that dyno?

[em1toevo]

Yes. I replaced them a month before I traded in my car so I wasn't able to get the full effect out of them, but replacing them was really easy.

Lol, you guys are funny! Dan, I would love to have your help again whenever you have time. I need to blow the dust off of the S.S. lines.

How does 30 or 31 January sound?

[em1toevo]

I'm going to check to see if I can get my day off swapped so that I will be free on the 30th.

[STGIIITsi]

Hell Yeah One of those days work I want to see what I'm REALLY Making!!!

[VIIIrs]

u need to read posts sir they were talking about something else

[turbo dragon]

a dyno day sounds good, but I do have a problem I painted the front lights went to do the tail lights the same way as far as heating them up and prying apart but it didnt move, am I doing somthing wrong

[VIIIrs]

yeah bro you have to use a dremel and cut them apart it's not the same glue

[VIIIrs]

i will tell you this be careful when you do dremel it tho....there are some great write ups on evom

[ultm8mind]

You're right they're not perfect, haha. Just kidding, they look good. Since I have EDM heads and tails, I am not going to take this step, LOL....looking good though, Paul definitely has some skills. GLAD you got rid of that ugly ass wing, What you fill the holes with? I am thinking of checking out the wingless look. Yeah, it's also time to clean that bumper......good stuff.
