Raul G headlights, and painted calipers

So I've been doing some things with my G here and there and I finally got around to share what I've done. A couple of months ago, I bought some modded headlights off of another member on this site. it had a blue led strip and the blue iron mans. Well, I really did not like the way they looked on my ride plus I got a repair order from a cop the same night I installed them. I called up Raul G, and he was able to change them up to specs that I wanted. Got rid of the iron mans, replaced the led strip with smoked amber, and added TSX-R lenses. He did a great job and I will recommend him to anybody. The turn around was very fast and I couldn't be more happier with the lights. here are the pics...Sorry for the crappy phone pics.

headlights after Raul G

specs
Black housing
TSX-R lenses
Smoked amber corners







I also decided to paint my calipers. I went with Burnt Copper. I'm very pleased with how they came out.








Let me know what you guys think. Hate it, like em, whatever. Just don't be too harsh.

I bought them from InfiniteDream about a month ago. I thought about that, but I think the led strip looks cool, but when i had it on my car, it just didn't look right to me in person. Just how I felt. They look good on other's cars in pics, but in person, I just didn't like it. So I went back with the amber.

I definitely am happy with them. Exactly how I wanted them. I'm trying to get one of my friends to get his done on his M45 by you. He is definitely leaning towards it, just waiting on funds. So you should be hearing from him in the near future.

Thanks again everyone for the comments!

Love the calipers! They remind me of the G35 Brembos.

I like the way the originals look too, but they just didn't fit my style I guess. Thanks for the comments!

Yeah they are eibachs. I'm hoping to get some coils so I can go lower, but that won't happen until I'm finished with college. They have some nasty speed bumps there. lol!
