EX35 Plasti-Dip/HID/LED/Photo

[Gtgttyl]

Hello fellow EX'ers Im new to the board so cut me some slack. I was really bored one day and decided to take some pics of my car. Nothing special was done to the car, Only plasti-Dipd the Grill and the emblems, as well installed HIDS on lows and fogs, and led on DRL.

Pics are kinda low quality sorry.

HIDs are from DDM, 8000k, straight forward install, nothing to crazy.





Sorry for the dirty car and Bumper. Its NewYork cant do s*** about it.

I hate to say it but you need Photography 101 ( http://photooneoone.blogspot.com/ )
If you are ambitious enough read through it on how you can take better photos.

The plastic-dip contrast on a white car looks very nice though!!!

8K HIDs on fogs

Plasti-Dip was nothing special, very easy install and looks gorgeous IMO with white. I'm actually in the process of replacing my stock mufflers to g37s muffs.

Nice ride! Looks exactly like mine, minus the roof rails and LED license plate bulbs (I believe? Still trying to figure how to remove my bulbs or whether they will be even bright enough compared to stock). I have 6000K Lowbeam, 6000K Fogs, 6000K Highbeams and LED DRL's on mine but looks like I'm staring at my own car lol. How do you like your painted grill and trims?

I love it, the black and white combo is just superb. and yes i have LED's on my License plates, In order to install License plate bulbs, you have to open up your cargo door and disassemble the cover piece from the trunk, its pretty easy, i think theirs 3 or 4 pins that you have to take out, and then you pull the cover slowly outwards, then you'll see the bulbs. I personally installed a (2) 5 led bulbs front and back. (http://www.amazon.com/Super-White-LED-B ... B0047RK746). It will defiantly look amazing with 6k HIDs all around.

IMO you should do it, it lights up the plates from a mile away. It looks stunning in person. Do it.

Looks amazing! Can you get me a link of where you bought your HIDs? Thanks!

hey gt i seem to have a problem i didnt know when i purchased the ex i purchased the 1st generation EX

so my lights came factory and not with the projectile / hid …. so ive been told that i cannot install the hid's and i will need a conversion kit. i will either have to use the after market and the lights will look foggy and or i will have to replace the headlights in general... also that if i put on the hids i have to remove the whole bumper to install the after market HID's

i would like some advice on what HIDS to get and or if i can actually put in hid's in my car.

hit me back
with out having to replace the actually headlights

If you don't have factory HID's, you still have "projector" housings/headlights. The results of the aftermarket kit are pretty good and is a pretty straight forward install. No need to remove the bumper, although a tight fit (especially if someone has thick hands), you can remove the wheel wells to install without removing the bumper. Mine didn't come with factory HID's as well.

It won't change anything, the headlights for 2008-2010 are the same. I am pretty positive even for the new 2011-2012 models, there hasn't been any body changes. The bulb type should be the same. This replacement guide should help you out, it has all the bulb types listed for the EX35.
