Headlight painting (complete!)

Here is the first side completed. [...]

NICE!!!!!

Looks nice, I still think that black car would benefit more from this mod.

I have the opposite thought: all that black/dark gray might get lost on a black car. There is no doubt though, that such a mod would set one's LEAF apart from the other, er..., few, LEAFs in town.

Wow, that looks really nice. Darn good job there. Good luck with the other side!

Very nice! I like the black side-mirrors and the front bumper lip. I miss the Nissan badge on the charge port though... without it makes the LEAF look snub-nosed, if that makes sense. Nice PS

I really like the black bumper lip. I had been considering trying to put some vinyl on the chrome part, but after seeing you PS job, I'm thinking maybe that whole part.

Lights are awesome. Jealous because I probably won't be doing that.

It's funny that you did the center piece. I been working on some ideas to address that chrome strip. I may remove the strip and paint it or I may just vinyl the whole section.

Anyhow I'm getting much faster at the mod. I did the driver side reflector housing yesterday in two hours total. That's including removal, baking, sanding, primer/paint dry time and reinstallation. Now I just need about 3 hours to do the remaining headlight.

Very nice work you guys!.. what's a PS job?

PS Looks good, but logo is a must I think.

Ooohh. I like the shaved emblem. It will require a replacement door though. Who did the clear door with license plate behind.

I think I saw a black mesh grill insert on the Japanese Mod site. Looked really good.

 

[TonyWilliams]

Could somebody PS this with body color, instead of black?

Also, PS out that chrome strip?

 

[Devin]

That looks really good! Now it needs a black tinted Nissan emblem to go with it instead of the blue tint that it comes with.

 

[nader]

I'm working on shaving the emblem actually. I will be adding some black matte vinyl to the center section of the bunper.

NIce job. I wish the front emblem did not have the indent because I like it off. I was at a paint shop the other day and the guy said the do quite a bit of these paint mods. He also said Nissan body paint quality is crap and poor quality but we already know this.

You can see the mesh density pretty good in the above pic.

it looks a bit too photoshopped, perhaps a lack of skill
