I'm always painting **** on my car when I get bored. The first thing I did was my gsr wheels, and then from there I did my headlights, corners, and Si front lip. Just recently I did my climate conrtol, gauge cluster, boost gauge, and defroster button. The pictures are a little crappy because of lighting.

How do you do the clock????

 

I think I spot NJ plates. Nice looking car.

 

How do you go about painting the lights? and is it possible to do it on a cd deck(I hate the color of the lights on it)

thanks

 

DIY is the best

 

You said you painted your corners? Meaning to me they looked blk'd out inside.

Is this true or it's just my computer thats messed up!

 

is that a FMIC i see what is your setup?

 

For the defroster button, I just took off the button, taped off the outside and sprayed the paint down into where the bulb lies so I didn't even take the bulb out. It came out perfect.

I'm trying to find the right color transparent tape or plastic wrapping that I can use on the clock to change the color. No luck so far.

To paint the lights, I just cut a slit in a cardboard box and then placed the bulbs in the slit so that only the heads were showing.

Yea the corners are blacked out.

clean ride

 

I'm guessing you followed my writeup Those look really dark...i'm assuming you didn't buy new bulbs. That was the one thing I emphasized...because when you paint the stock bulbs it comes out VERY dark. Good job tho

Heres mine:

 

Good job and your car looks great!

 

Good work!

 

i'm doin this today. i read your writeup, and nobody really gave me a clear answer as to what bulbs i need in my 6th gen. anybody know? also what the hell do you do with the blue condoms? just paint over them?

 

i did it once.

the bulbs are readily available, and not expensive.

may spend $10 on all of them.

 

I did use all brand new bulbs. It looks dark because of the way the pictures came out. Thanks for all the compliments

 

Since no one has chimed in about the clock, i'll share what i did with my clock:

First things first, head out to Staples or Office Depot and go towards the Filing section and find a pack of Filing Folder Transparent Tab Holders...They look like this...


They usually come in Various colors and are about $1.50 or so...After you pick up the tabs, go home and disassemble your clock and cut the tab holder to the appropriate size and slide it over the clock...After that, assemble your clock back together and cut one of the wires behind the clock...I cant remember which wire it is, but there are three in the back...Ground, power and dimmer switch when the headlights turn on...you want to snip the dimmer switch so that the clock stays bright at all times...Hope this helps everyone...

 

I like that infinity_racer...i'll have to try that. Good job

 

I had the same idea but never got around to trying it. I'm about to take a ride to staples.
