Northern Virginia Roll Call

With that being said, how is the output on those? If they work out well, def worth making a review thread as Im sure many on TW would love to use those as a viable option.

Edit* Youtube opportunity?

 

You could just tape it off and use the spray cans of bedliner after a good primer and prep. But be careful with fiber glass as it bonds differently. But if you are going the bedliner route im not sure it would matter as that stuff is pretty tough and gives a nice finish and decent sheen. I got my cap painted professionally locally for $400 and it turned out pretty good color match wise but I probably could have done better on the detail if I knew more about painting.

 

noooooo.... (but I totally feel ya... I dumped $4500 into my 3rd gen.... I still miss it.)

yea yea yea... this one is staying around for awhile.... and the next vehicle I get will be a 3rd gen or (dare I say it) 4th gen TRD Pro

this.

Oh I'm talking about bedlining the REAR bumper since it's chrome... I'm not doing anything to the front bumper... John and I are doing our big swap at the end of this month....

so. many. shenanigans.

 

Painting clear coat can be a fickle bitch.

 

holy crap 8 gallons yeah definitely use a air compressor good lord you could bedline all of our trucks with that. Hmmmmmmmm?

 

I was originally going to derp my rear bumper before the CL opportunity came along. I just like derp as it can peel off as if it never happened. Considering the location of the rear bumper it is out of the way of most of the airflow of the truck and has plastic skirts to help hide about 30% of the surface area on it. You can paint it if you want, just think for the effort and the situation it currently has that derping it would be a minimal risk/low effort in terms of removal and can be painted in many colors and textures now.

 

LMAO so true!

I dont know.... but being honest, I was a little skeptical about these lights when I first bought them...my thoughts were "for $160, they cant be that nice, but I dont want all those little LED strips / gaudy lights everywhere on the other ebay headlights"

but I LOVE these headlights. I put the Innovited 6k HID kit on it thanks to @Darkgoatracer 's recommendation, and the cutoff is almost PERFECT. (let's put it this way, the beam is more clean / crisp than my buddies e36 M3)

the ONLY thing I might change is the buld... I might go to a 5k bulb instead of 6k, but I have ZERO complaints about these headlights... in the future, I might open them up and paint them black with an orange shroud (nightmare edition ) but baby steps

 

I have like like 500 gallons of raptor liner I want to use it!...... More importantly want find someone who has a lift outside that would either let me use or let me pay to. so i can go to town with a corded drill with a wire brush on my rusted undercarriage.

 

I got some new predator nerf steps if you are interested. I just took them off when I did my sliders. PM me and we can work something out.

 

Cool man, if that is your honest stance then man I would def consider making a review on them. Im sure everyone and their mom is skeptical about getting projector lights on theirs for the fear that they use halogen projectors instead of dedicated HID projectors. These will likely be a welcomed option by many.

 

yea, the bumper will eventually get pulled off and I'll put an All Pro bumper on... but I know for sure I never want it chrome again, so bedlining it just seems easy....

I did that on my F-350.... that shit sucked. I did it on the ground / on my back....

 

there is a guy on here (that I actually found AFTER I installed them) who did a nice review of them....

but I'm waiting on a review for one thing... the company sent me an email and was like "if you send us some pictures of them installed, we'll refund you $20" so when they do that, I'll go on and blast a good review all over

 

I would then coat the "de-rusted" sections with rustoleum under coating but im not sure its the best idea considering i was just made aware i might get a new frame because of a settlement......thanks to @Me. Projekt any thoughts?

 

If that is the case, I would seek out your preferred dealership and confirm if that is a possibility. If so, what would a recommended time frame be.

 

yea I'm not sure of the in and outs of that... but def search, there is some good info on this forum about it

 

Lol just saw an ad and clicked on these http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-2012-...Projector-Headlights-/132128686865?rmvSB=true i might have to pull the trigger because why not they might be awesome and i am not a fan of the reflective look on the other projectors.

 

@Darkgoatracer has them on his ride...they look pretty crisp. If these were out at the time when I got mine I would of went with them.

 

New frames settlement is much much more stringent...

 

Dang man that's a lot of raptor liner and I heard that stuff was pretty good. What are you gonna do with all that?
