        Great updates. Why are the headlights dull?

          sup, headlights have a matte smoke film on all 4 parts. intended to look that way.

          so hope to have all lights, radio, alarm, glove box, some random electronics and interior bulbs all working & rear acs kopi rear add-on all on car by end of nxt wk. then install e90 top hats for front & possibly getting some thinner adapters for the fronts & get the gold set of wheels on the car by mid month!

          stay tuned!

              those gold lips look really really good. Saw your car in person at the picnic also, the wrap job looked awesome.

              How is the gold lip done? is that gold chrome? i want to get my BBS RZ done completely in gold like those lips...

                golde30: sup, thanks for the comments! is saw your car as well, super clean in person!

                so what was done:

                1- polish the lips, i took them to a local metal polishing shop that has a wheel machine and they got them super shiny.
                2- transparent gold powdercoat, done locally from a guy that does powder from home.
                3- put them back together and there you have it.

                side note, i bought the polished hex caps from a guy from stanceworks.com, they came polished, but the metal shop polished them up even more!

                  interesting method, but doesnt help me. would take years to polish out my RZ with all the mesh. guess im back to saving up for 24K dip.

                    ic, u might be able to get them powdercoated chrome, they have a powdercoat that looks similar to a chrome look. then have the painted in a transparent gold over them. should yeild the same effect depending how shiny the chrome look powdercoat is gonna be...

                          How/what exactly did you do to get the RS caps on your Style 5's like that?

                                What convertible shop did you take that to? Any pictures of the top and the rear window? Also, what/how did you paint the vert top lid with?
