Looks like clean work to me.

Curious to see how the eyelids are going to look with that little bump in the lens. Is that painted on to the lens or an overlay?

Its a fiberglass piece. Had it on the car before in its original black but now colour matched.

I love the headlights. I just don't like the idea of eyelids. I mean I thought the whole idea of doing a retrofit is to make the headlights look good on their own. But I could be wrong, put these babies on the car nao!

The eyelids (when they were on it before) made the car look aggressive. Now, i believe it will look more class. Pictures will be done when the project is repaired and completed

Did you use any double-side tape in particular? Or would scotch or something like that be fine to use

That is odd. Do you own the vehicle or is it a lease?

That is very odd to say the least, and its super unfortunate considering all the work you just did to your headlights (they look amazing). What car are you looking at to replace it with?

Very sorry to hear that man.

This isn't an uncommon thing, unless you're already gotten the car back. When repair shops start digging into your car to fix it, they may find underlying damage that they didn't find in the estimate.

But hey, onto different things! It's a shame though because, in the event you want to, you don't even have the choice to directly replace your coupe with another new one. No V6s.

I would recommend buying a cheap beater for a grand or so and wait to see if Nissan drops a RWD sports coupe below the Z. =D

Dude...sorry for your loss. You've had some terrible luck with the AC. No chance of getting another one?
BTW, would you happen to know the orb sizes for angel eyes? I know you were looking into it before

use tint for your tail lights,
and for the tape im assuming tape measure. i used the clothing one you would use to measure your suit out easier to work with. its just straight across for diameter dimensions.

Funny, if you would be willing to pay her off, I have a '12 6MT white, loaded AC that I am actually looking to trade on a new car but getting the run-around from the dealerships (earlier today no less). We have elderly family forcing me to look at larger, 4dr cars...

I understand, whenever you can find the time to measure that'd be great thanks
