Epic Thread Part IV

What color should I paint the housing on my new custom made headlights with projectors? Black or color matched red? I have some paint that korn got me color matched to my body paint.

Let me know what you guys think.

Color Matched

Black

Black is what I originally thought as well, but color matching the red also seems interesting.

Also, since I am not changing over to high beam projectors, the chrome reflector will most likely be left chrome so I can still use high beams if I need to. I'm leaning towards having everything black in the housing except for the reflector for the high beams.

Here is a pic of the stock headlight for reference.

Been looking around on google and a good paint job seems to cost 3 - 4k.

I'm undecided A-Ray...My first thought was color matched, but I don't know without seeing it.

Do you have a picture of them with no lens covers? Then you could photoshop some color on there. The lens cover in the last picture will make it look weird with color on top.

I color matched my old ones , the new HID projectors I bought were black , I put them in and it's a totally different car the black looks evil ...

No, I do not have a picture without the lens cover. Sorry. I can't take one a pic without the lens cover because I am not the person making the headlights.

Raggle Fraggle....im bored at work... still...and sleepy...and hungry...

Aray.

Black...red wouldn't look right imo.

People on craigslist are so cheap. Put my ad up for all the chrome. with the gas cap being 85 dollars and this guy was trying to buy three of my items for that price. Finally told him ill give him the gas cap and taillights for 80

I agree. I put my bimmer up for 3000 firm. Told them I needed cash to buy a new car.

I got an offer for 1200 + a 96 jimmy. The response I sent him wasn't nice lol.

People are idiots on Craigslist I put in caps "NO TRADES" the first 15/16 responses were I'll trade you my CBR , GSXr, Ect Ect Ect for your bike ... Some were with $$$ others were straight trades...

IM getting the same crap on my CL ads. Gonna deal with it but eventually it will sell.


PS: This dont look right Epic post and Korn is not the topic author...

That's pretty much what I'm going with now, just a matter of exactly what to paint black now. The reflector for the high beams will probably stay chrome just in case I ever need them.

I'm thinking the entire bottom of the housing along with the entire low beam side will be black.

Breaking the neon down tomorrow night. Revamping the whole front end. Bumper is getting meshed up. Painting all the **** behind the bumper a nice deep black so it isn't noticeable. Getting the new fenders fitted and glassing them so the scoop works and clears the lambo hinges. Then spraying them, getting them on the car, and getting iceled along with orange glow in the scoops that will be hooked up to the turn signals. Remounting the side skirts. Painting the calipers up front. Redoing some wiring up front and all the wiring in the engine bay along with looming it all so it isn't noticeable.

Neon will probably be down for a good two weeks. But man is it gonna be work it. No more rusty fenders that don't line up for ****. New glow. No wiring visible in engine bay.

Damn I love owning another car to drive while I park the neon lol.

Just sold the car for 800 and I get to keep the wheels, tires and system. Which will all be for sale very soon.

Just gotta make an ad I might do it from work ha ha.

Wheels? System? *wags tail with excitement*

I'm debating if I should pick up this Macbook I found for sale. Seems like a good deal and I need a new laptop. Would dual boot OSX/Win7.

New battery
2.0ghz Core Duo
1gb of Ram
Intel GMA950
Superdrive
60gb HD
Running OS 10.4

If it does a dual boot, thats awesome!!

Not too bad of a price. Any warranty still?

Doesn't say. He said it was purchased in the summer of '06, so I would guess no warranty.

I really don't have the money right now. Especially after buying that Inferno from the Oz garage sale, and I'm sure I'll find something I want from the Woot-off. Bah, anyone want to let me borrow $500?

If bought in 06' it def doesn't have the standard warranty, but it could still have the extended warranty, which helps the value some.

I understand you money dilemma

Yeah, I really don't need a new laptop. The one I'm typing on works just fine. $500 for a Mac that runs Windows though seems too good to pass up.

Appears to be a pretty good deal.

wat

Picked up "The Bigs 2" last night, it's amazing. Added Battlefield 1943 ( http://xboxlive.ign.com/articles/100/1001684p1.html ) to my download queue, it's going to be extremely awesome, and NCAA 10 is coming out in 6 days...yum.

Anybody heard about or played the game "BoneTown"

Looks frigging amazing,

NSFW!

You getting NCAA 10 for Xbox or PS3? I'll have to give 1943 a download too, I enjoyed 1942.

I enjoyed 1942 and 2142. Is this downloaded on 360 or PS3? Or both?

Both. 1200 MS points or $14.99 on the PS3.

Anyone want to buy a cheap laptop for $250?

Intel Pentium M 1.7GHz
2GB G.Skill Upgraded Memory
Glossy 14.1" Screen
60GB Hard Drive

Will include a brand new battery from Dell.

Battlefield was released today for 360, tomorrow for PS3.

Tim, I have NCAA pre-ordered for the 360. The Bigs and Battlefield I also got for 360.

More and more lately I have been leaning towards reserving my PS3 for exclusives (Like GT5 and MAG) and Bluray use. I wish I would have bought WaW for 360 instead of PS3...but I can't go back now, and I can't trade it straight up so I'm not going to lose money on a version switch lol

Eh, just buy my macbook bought last august for $800. I want the new one.

I'll buy your Macbook for $250


I updated my list of games in the official 360 thread. I just grabbed my list from xbox.com, formatted them nicely and plugged them into my post...wow.

Specs? I'll give you $450 for it depending on the specs.

I was just joking Tim, I would love to (if he really meant 250) but I'm broke.


She's all yours.

^^ ha best map ever, i'm surprised that nebraska is not cornland or something.
