Ambergones, finally on...BS with CF!!!

Ok guys, sorry for the wait. It took me forever to find someone that would put these things on. I took some prelim pictures with my phone to post, but as soon as they cure (3 to 5 days) I am going to wash it and take some hi quality pictures of the car. Enjoy!

They dude was really precise about putting them on. He first taped the top on in place with masking tape and then used that as a hinge. After he got it stuck on he used a squeege and smoothed out the air bubbles and then hit it with a heat gun. It turned out pretty well, I like them.

Yeah it's going to take a little because of the temps here. If I had installed them in the summer, it would have only taken a day or 2 to fully adhear to the headlight lens.

Yeah I am waiting to wash the car because of that fact. The dude said that the bubbles that I currently may smooth out after they "cure". But he also told me how to smooth them out, so we shall see how they turn out.

well put!

eh, I'm leavin 'em alone. I think the amber looks ok against dark colors. Not to mention the only ones I had any interest in (smoked) are double the cost of the others, for no apparent reason.

I think it looks good. I'm waiting to see more
Especially like to see some from a distance, to see how well it blends in and changes the overall look of the front.
