Super Made and paint

[TokyoNights]

I dont usually ask for opinions but whatever.

So I have these Super Made style lights and everyone allways leaves them black and has a black or carbon hood with these.
Fuck that I like paint soo Im thinking about painting the lids body color and leaving the rest black

CAMARO STYLE

[ondatdryftonyte]

better pics maybe?

[ThatGuy]

Paint to match. They shouldn't stand out.

[Slidin240Wayz]

Nice, better than constant flip ups. I need full frontal to get a better idea of paint or no paint.

i know the lines are different so in concept, thats how i imagine you pulling this off clean.

[CylonFrakker]

leaving them black makes the car look like a camaro. I would go for a full paint in and out of the super mades

[EchoOfSilence]

paint to match mang

[TokyoNights]

For the dudes saying paint you mean everything or just the lids?

Nice, better than constant flip ups.
Yeah I know Carlos if you remember they were all gutted out and would bobble around at night,
cops dont appreciate that driving all the way back form jerzey haha
everytime I drive this car its out of state,,
these fit perfect with my intercooler setup so Im happy


Ill get better pics once the lamps come in

[ThatGuy]

Paint everything. Like I said, they shouldn't stand out. :bow:

[kensreliableb18b]

i think u should paint just the lids like you say, first. would make it look aggressive. if you dont like it, you can always paint those pieces afterwards. painting everything the same would look similar to other setups, which have been done before.

[McRussellPants]

leave them black, leave them gaudy. hinge and spring load the lids so that they flip up and down randomly while drifting like Haraguchis.

Fuck all this car show paint match shit. Paint matching them to your car would be total Nico "I KEEP IT KLEEN!!! NEXT STOP ROTA GT4 KNOCKOFFS" spec.

[chmercer]

paint that shit. russell is whack. candy paint drippin full coverage. get me some better pics and ill shop it for you

[McRussellPants]

Charlie can't figure out a PCV system so obviously he doesn't know what hes talking about.


Leave em black like the supermade car.

[chmercer]

i think we all know who has more rep squares.

if you like them black the fine but dont leave them black because "the supermade car has it". knocking shit is lame

[Creizai]

Where did you get the hood? I want that one

[mrmephistopheles]

paint .

[Buffalo Daughter]

i'd leave'em black, certified gangsta style.

[Team Rootbeer]

+1 for painted.

[Johny5]

painted hands down!

[chmercer]

Where did you get the hood? I want that one

you can get that hood from the nissan dealer, i think a new one is like 600 dollars about, or the junkyard probably has a ton for like 50 bucks

[boost infested]

If your hood is black then the lids will stay black.. if your hood is body color... then paint the lids too..... but it might mistaken for a newer camaro... lol.

[Ian]

The non-douchebag answer is.

It's a uras Erobon duct (or copy) molded onto stock

[articdragon192]

Painted covers. The stock flip ups have the black plastic trim stock and it would look akward painted. Paint only the lids.

[TokyoNights]

Fuck yeah dude if you can photochop that would be great
Ill send you a better pic later in the week
I have to drive at another event tomorrow so I need the popups in

I figured the hood was stock with the Fiberglass Vents molded on, but it looked like it might have been a hood from a company that was making them about a year or two ago. I forgot the name and if that was it I was asking him for the company or order location.... prick

That hood is 100% custom y0. He should do a 'how to' write up on it.

[Ian]

D-max makes a similar hood

[Dousan_PG]

similar but cant compare.
seen it in person a many times
dmax blows away the uras vent action. so fast.

[Carisma•FR]

Paint the lids and leave the housing black.
I also have the URAS vent/ SuperMade headlight combo, except mine is all black. This pic should give you an good idea of how it looks like.

[FaLKoN240]

Paint lid, but NOT the housing. It'll look kinda OEM, and look good. Or whatever, paint the whole thing, just take pics of the shit mounted, then have someone photoshop.

[Ian]

mount it up, look at it


if you don't like it all black, paint the lid

if you don't like the housing black, paint the housing

if you don't like it at all, smack yourself in the face

[Slidin240Wayz]

You going to Raceway Park tomorrow?

[TokyoNights]

Clubloose yeah Ill be there, you?

Paint

[drew935]

first time I saw these were on this car. I would still paint it all even if I had a cf hood. I drive it on the street and not on the track so why leave it black.

Paint the covers, leave the buckets black.


/thread.

[Slidin240Wayz]

+1 for painted covers and black housings

[TokyoNights]

I messed with this crap some more
lamps came in yesterday
I got these:
http://www.d-faction.com/pictures/mike/piaa.JPG
the middle bulb is a marker/parking light

It took some work on my crappy fenders/bumper/hood to get the buckets to fit right ,,
I welded up some mounts to support the buckets but I didnt like how everything came out so I scrapped it all,,gonna try something new next week.
Some mock up:
heres the driving light
http://www.d-faction.com/pictures/mike/piaa2.JPG
fog light,,its yellow
http://www.d-faction.com/pictures/mike/piaa3.JPG
mabie I will wire it so both of them come on at once and blind the fuck out of everyone :rl:

[TipStylez]

If this works...

Throw a s13 hood on it. These lights look nice, just that the gaps make them look weird. The s13 hood should remove the lines and make everything look flush and oem.

[ThatGuy]

Uhhhh, it has an s13 hood already. :duh:

[ledzeppelin240]

I was actually thinking Silvia hood, which is probably what he meant. But I'm not too sure how that will work out.

[blackflag_Rms13]

If that is indeed what he meant that would be retarded and look like shit...

[joecar]

See you there brother!!!

edit- no more number

where were you I went to etown you were a no show.... But paint the lids mike

[ceniack]

what brand/model of lights are those?

[Slidin240Wayz]

I didn't have a car to attend..spank me. I'll be connecticut for both of you in my new black dress. D-faction FTW.

where do i buy the hood insert/hood? write up's anywhere? thanks *a

back onsubject:

[mr_240sx]

i was just thjinking....wouldnt it fit better with a silvia hood?

and tokyo, where did you get those bulbs/lights?

[Slidin240Wayz]

We already went through this- it would look like ass.

I think PIAA makes those lights or something very similar.

Carlos

[GSXRJJordan]

wow those lights are pretty bomb... I was gonna do a perma-sleepy light setup with the Hella 90mm driving /hi beams but maybe those lights would work better, plus I like the integrated fogs. Where'd ya get em Tokyo, and how's the output?

[TokyoNights]

http://litewarehouse.com/
output is alot better than stock crap

[S13 Charlie]

TokyoNights - I've always dug how you've put your car together. Somewhat inspirational, since my car is that same funky champagne color. my thoughts are that you should paint the tops/covers and leave the buckets black for that goth look, heh, and see how it comes out. If it's shitty, you could always paint the buckets to match, or is it a one-way ticket? That is, do you only have one shot at putting it all together after paint?

There's no way this car could be mistaken for a camaro. It may look similar in the headlights, but come on, it's a sweet S13 with aero. :loco: By the way, what front bumper is that? Is it B-magic, or BN-sports?

cheers,
C

[Star.Engineering]

i agree outside paint...
but the bucket black, i think it'l give some depth,and just keep it hot

[Fredy]

i agree with most people... paint the lid, keep the bucket black.. black housing headlights always look more agressive than all painted...

here's a 'chopped example.. not the best, but it gets the point across..

Thanks Charlie, that bumper is some fake Uras copy I got for cheap

Do the opposite. Black outside and paint bucket. (not sure if it would look wierd), someone photoshop?

Have you drove with the new light setup at night bro? If so what did you think of light output, and did to many drivers hi-beam you? I'm asking 'cause I just bought a similar non pop-up housing and need to wire new lights in. Should get the housing's tomorrow will post pics. * haven't decided to paint them or not, kinda like the carbon fiber look*

Looks very nice with the painted lid. How much did the paint cost you and what kind of paint is it? I really like that color.
