Hey everybody!

I have just gone through and edited my prior posts of the pictures of my work in progress. I don't want people to be confused with prototype images, other than the hand crafted GEN II close up shot and what it will generally look like on the car. I figure between these two shots, people should get a darn good idea.

>> HOLD

Ahh, I just received a call and the pieces are being cut right now and will be shipped out today. I should have them by Wednesday. Once I receive them, that night, I will assemble eight GEN II-M assemblies and paint them flat black and one flat black with blue clearcoat. I will have pictures available of the assemblies the following day as well as the one with blue on the car with fog light (maybe driving light too). The following day I should have day pictures.

Until then - how come the silence from everyone?

Can I get a count how many people want:

Fog Lights

Driving Lights

???

what really is the difference between the 2?

 

[II-Savy]

Driving lights give off a BEAM of light that goes out from the car into the road farther ahead of you. Fog lights "flood" the area right in front of the car. Basically driving lights light up more, way ahead of the car while fogs light up an area closer the car.

zmzmp5 - What's "with blue clearcoat" ?

 

[www.03msp.com]

Thanks for the fog/driving comparison for people.

Regarding painting, I'll outline the "normal process" used to paint metal that is handcrafted:

One coat - texture primer
One coat - base color
Two coats - primary color
Two coats - clear coat protection

What I am going to do for my car (and if others want it):

Two coats - primary color (don't need texture as laser cut, and don't need base as we are not anodizing the look of it with reflective paint)
Two coats - anodized blue clearcoat/mixed with clear coat (on black it is subtle, not refective in light, but provides a candy-like dark coating - still dark black/with blue coating = cheapest way to make it look good without spending $$$ on factory paint for blue cars

That's the dilly-yo!

- Brian

Is there any legal problems with the driving lights? Can you have them on while driving around town or are they going to be too bright?

 

[swimmingweasel]

There should be no legal problems unless you live an some kinda town that regulates everything.

 

[Newf]

I'll add myself to the list once I see pics of the final fogs/driving lamps.

 

[swimmingweasel]

UPS said they would be there tommorow, so the pics should be up in a few days.

 

[www.03msp.com]

I just wanted to throw another shout out to thank SwimmingWeasel as well as XXXXX for all the great effort put into this product as well as all the members in this thread. It was a dream - turned reality. WOW!

So far, it appears that I will have the product tommorow. I will assemble and paint at least half of them. A set will be installed and pictures will be up Wednesday (maybe tomorrow late).

Again, thank you.

- Brian

 

[muohio]

I'm really interested and will bite once I see the final pics. I like the fact that this kit will be complete.

What do the pics have to do with what light output you want? They will look the same from 2 feet away! Please choose which system you want....driving or fog.

Sorry man, spaced out forgot to post the type. It doesn't have anything to do with that, I want to see some pics of the final product before buying.
