Well after burning my fingers a few times they're finally done. Fresh wash in the morning and then some good quality photos (hopefully good quality) later.
Those turned out great, Gregor. Props to you for doing the work yourself. Wish I had the patience and painting skills to pull this off.

That has a number of elements that would present a challenge for me: precision, patience, perseverance; to start an alliterative list.

Very well put, Sean. I'm with you! I've done virtually everything else myself on my car, but I'm leaving my headlight work to the Pro's. I'm just too damn picky and I know "my" work would never be good enough for "me".
Here's mine with new beadlocks that I just installed this past weekend. Beadlocks make me happy, and the fender gap makes me even happier... Oops, wrong forum.
Thanks, ZM! I really do love my GT30's, but I may actually get rid of them next Winter... I've been trying to have custom 11.5" or 12" wide barrels made for the rear wheels so I can run 325's, but haven't had much luck with it.
Funny, I kind of like the copper and red but am not a fan of the silver steering wheel trim. It just looks a little out of place IMO. Car looks great though!
I'm not sure what it is about the combo.. I think that copper is leaning more towards an orange-ish color and red and orange just don't go together well IMO. Not saying it's horrible or anything, it's just different.

What I really want is these.
These just popped up in the classifieds. I think they would look amazing on your sedan...
thank you, if you’re local I’m always down to help out. thought about a diy but its a pain in the *** lol

its not too bad man, i just always keep the oven at a low temp and leave it in there for a longer period of time. the adhesive becomes gooey way before hazing or melting. after that its pretty straight forward. i bake them twice to re-seal the housing. first by hand, then i tighten all the screws into place and put them back in the oven. This is the 4th set of head lights ive done and I’m praying they dont fog up or take water still lol

Looks like you did a great job though, Gregor!
thank ya sir
