Nicely done Raul. Looks super clean and honestly looks better black chrome than anything else. One question though, why no ironman?

hard to really get a feel for the black chrome from the pictures but overall it looks good. Was planning on doing the same to mine so it's good to see the finished product.

Looks good!

Black chrome is always hard to take a good picture of, especially behind the lens. Depending on the angle and where the sun hits it, it will look anywhere from dark silver to very glossy black.

Here's mine from a couple months ago.
G35Driver - View Single Post - Matte or gloss?

And a good shot showing the transition of colors depending on how the light hits the headlights.

Raul,

Ever thought about doing core exchanges? Do you have an extra set of headlights? I think it would be good to invest in one. That way you can work on many other people's lights from all over and get more customers and get that paper! Some of us daily our G's and can't have any downtime on our cars. Just a thought. . . I could be your first oversea customer.
