I seem to have caught the mod bug this weekend and went a little crazy in my free time. Painted my headlights internals and also got rid of the nasty rust that im sure a lot of us have accumulated on our rotors. Along with the rotors I painted my caliper heads bright red to give the A/C the look I love.
Next in line:
-HIDs
-LEDs
-Tint 5%
-Coils
Here are some picture from the weekend;
Would love to hear some commentary from fellow owners!

Nice work. Make sure you seal the crap out of those headlights or you will get moisture and fogging.

rust on the rotors? or do you mean the hub? It's normal for "rust" to accumulate on the rotor surface when there is high humidity or rain, but a couple taps on the brakes while driving will get rid of it.

headlights look cool as do the calipers!

its not that bad. I think it's actually harder to take off the lights and put them back on then to bake them...

I wonder if anyone has tried to do the 10+ headlights. Im assuming it would be the same, but its not like it was when I use to do 02+ altima headlights. Easy as cake to take apart.

ya the sealant on these lights is super strong. some people couldn't open them so they just baked them till they started the melt. but nothing a little bit of brute force and a friend holding a heat gun can't solve

literally exactly whatI did! had some trouble getting the clear front of the headlight to fit perfectly back into the back so i did the best I could and just sealed the hell out of it wherever I saw it was open
