Where are all the pics of "after the drop"??? I see your sig but I want more pics!!

 

[itsspeeds]

Finally had a day without rain and was able to kinda clean her up for some pics. Just got the final rubbing issues taken care of with a heat gun and a 2x4. Rides great!!!

 

[07Burb]

Looks great! Do you have a thread on how you blacked out your amber reflector in your headlights?

Also....got any pics on the extended cab in the driveway?

 

[itsspeeds]

O7burb, I actually use Lamin X. Its a tint for head lights. Bought a 12x12 piece and it was enough for both sides. Got the idea from Modded.
The truck is my work truck. 04 Chevy silverado. My 1st blacked out vehicle. Its got 20" teflon coated wheels and blaced out tailights and headlights. Didn;t put to much effort into it cause I pile up old guttters in the back of it everyday. Still in good shape for what I put it through.

 

[07Burb]

Lamin X, eh? So do you just put it over part of the light so that it doesn't affect the actual headlight?

 

[itsspeeds]

Yeah, I actually used that scribe thats in the headlight. I just lined up te straight edge of the Lamin X where the line meets the top and bottom of the headlight the cut it off on the back side between the light and the fender. Took me about 30 min.

 

[07Burb]

Nice!! I may have to see if someone can do some PS work for me so that I can see how it'd look on mine before I do it but that looks really good on yours!

 

[sumo]

Nice. Did you Remove the Bulb for the Reflector?

 

[Modded]

Yeah, I actually used that scribe thats in the headlight. I just lined up te straight edge of the Lamin X where the line meets the top and bottom of the headlight the cut it off on the back side between the light and the fender. Took me about 30 min.

Looking good. I used Lamin X on my side markers back in 2008 and its still holding up strong now.

Tahoe looks great, do you have a 4x4? If so how difficult was it with the drive shaft through the spindle?

Thanks

The blacked out amber reflector in the headlights looks ****!!!

DIY?

I'm confused.. is the Lamin X inside the headlight or does it just sit on top? Can't tell from pics.

Without a doubt!! I'm going to start looking into getting some of that Lamin X and possibly doing it to my Burb. Should be pretty straight forward to do in the driveway. The good thing about it is if it doesn't look right on a maroon ride the mod can easily be reversed I'm glad itsspeeds posted up these pics. Not sure why I didn't notice it before on modded's ride

Sumo and Felix, I didn't take the light off the truck at all. Its like a tint that goes over the headlight. They do make various colors and darker shades as well. I think I paid $35 with shipping for a 12x12 sheet. I used the Charcoal 30% tint. Modded has a lighter one on his. I thik it was Smoked 17%.

Mark, my mechanic friend made it look easy, so I guess it would depend on your experience level.

Burb, For $35 bucks, its gotta be one of the cheapest mods I've done!

 

[Modded]

Yes mine is smoked. Don't know where you got yours but mine only ran $20 for the 12 x 12 sheet.

 

[itsspeeds]

I got it off the Lamin X website. Its $25 for the sheet. Plus $10 for shipping. They also send a small spray bottle, a lil squeegee and a razor knife all included.

 

[felixgun]

So you didn't cover the whole headlight?
