[nik]

Custom... Using a beamers projectors I believe

[doGGy]

Yes The first ever Custom ones Here is my rule - if you cant afford it - make it your self

I got few request of clear pic of the headlights, so here ya go:

pro-ject-ors?
[right][snapback]326785[/snapback][/right]

[dustin15brown]

But did you do anything with the highs?

[doGGy]

Just painted black the stock inside housing witch is silver on stock headlights, this way they look really dark, but glowing aint changed at all. For future i will replace them with another project, and for this project i got Idea from Drocay (thanks fela ), will post a full write up later next month on both of these projects what everybody could attemt to make them self this trully beautiful mod

But did you do anything with the highs?
[right][snapback]326880[/snapback][/right]

[Hanyo]

how did you get the clear glass?

[doGGy]

One shop in my area was able to water sand them with the special mashine and then polish them to compleat clear..

how did you get the clear glass?

[95CelicaST]

possible product to sell over there at DCW? I know I would buy!

[doGGy]

No plans for now, cuz for mass production they get too expensive...

[right][snapback]327599[/snapback][/right]

[dustin15brown]

what kinda price range are you talking?

[doGGy]

basicly i can play open cards and tell you the whole situation, just that you guys could imagine:

Projector units: Good ones might cost about 100$ for a pair. Sometimes they cost about 30-50 for a good used pair but not the best ones....

Inner housing around the projectors - including all matterials will cost about 20-30$ not much at all and not too hard to make...

Shrouds around projectors (the chrome piece what covers whole projectors) original ones might cost about 80$ for a pair. To make custom ones - about 20-30$

Glass polishing - 100$ here. Expensive.

Making metal plate for projectors assembly - about 2$ LOL

And all this not including work, and it is about 2 full days of work to make them...

so in total we get about 260 in matterials only, not including work. And theres a lot of work, atleast 150$ needed for work. so in total it is about 400$ as for 475$ you can get JDM lows.... this is why it is expensive....

what kinda price range are you talking?
[right][snapback]327606[/snapback][/right]

[95CelicaST]

well then how much does it take to make the highs? Didnt you just paint the inside of regular ones black? I would pay for a set like that.. I think that is still cheaper than JDM projectors isnt it?

[dustin15brown]

probably, but I'm guessing Romas might want to keep some inventions to himself...

[doGGy]

Ehm... Im quoting my self

Sorry, on thing I don't understand, you has the stock lenses water sanded and they came out clear? Looking at the lenses on my lights, I wouldn't think you could make them clear.

[nik]

hey doggy what are the two wires under the light do you have leds in there also?

[doGGy]

Specialised Machine shop did this, they polish all type of glass, and yes, these are the stock glasses polished out.

hey doggy what are the two wires under the light do you have leds in there also?

Yes Nik, i placed led in front of the lens just to have the parking light

Gear box is reworked in one company who does prepare cars for Rally, they have 3S all track, and they know stuff about toyotas

Wheels - ok i give up..... VOLK racing CE28NF R17, dunno what color yet to chose... Either Bronze or Gun metal..... Tires - Falken Azenis or Yokohamas....

how much was the work on the gear block?
how much were the parts might need to hit you up when i get my car back.

i think Bronze with Falken Azenis would look good

[Consynx]

im so confused...
what wheels? lol

what's that two-tone car in the backround

Romas, my FMIC is huge too. Its about 14 inches high and I have read that as long as at least 1/3 of the bottom of the intercooler gets air, it will do its job well since the air from the bottom third will disperse very well into the rest of the intercooler. In fact, what I have read is that allowing the air in from only a portion of the intercooler actually works better. I might be able to find the link for you. In short, I doubt the holes are necessary.

Does anyone know of any companies that will do this?

[elvasoshexai]

i think u will be looking at a hefty price for all that manual labour...

although i know of a few people who have done this... but for a price...

in the end we (camry people) got a group buy going for just brand new crystal clear headlamps from depo lighting... (someone knew a wholesale distributor who got us the headlamps)

Does anyone know of any companies that will do this?

Hey, can you get PM me his contact information and anything else that would be helpful? Thanks man.
Romas- I know you've "sold" the car, but are we going to get finished pictures of it? Like a full photoshoot of it? We need it man. Also, this may seema bit odd, but Christian.... would it be worth it to start a type of hall of fame type deal? Include the most memorable of cars that have been wrecked or sold? Just an idea.
