Default Whistler Mod done!

Did the whistler mod this weekend. It was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. I was a little nervous about putting the lights in the oven, but I think it came out pretty good! I had NO idea my headlights were in such bad shape untill I started trying to clean them up. I had to go all the way down to 320 grit sand paper & work my way back up. They looked ok untill I tried to put them on a black background.

I also added another set of lights in the grill area. Let me know what you think!

(how observant are you? Is there anything "extra" in any of theese pics?)

I like the foglights, did you use my write-up thread (under the name DEMONBIRD) for them? The look identical...

Car looks good. Not feeling the body kit but love the hood

I'm not picking up on what is "extra" though...

I always wanted to do this but didn't know how, then I saw your car and others with smaller lights a while back so I knew it was possible. When I went to actually do it, I couldn't find your write-up again so I just winged it knowing it had been done before and would work.
