That's exactly what I have to do to match the corners. Got to go to "that" aisle at the car parts store and pick up some tape lol. Cheap ftw

I don't do it. Central pine does it and countless other retrofitters. Typical cost for non chase led would be a couple hundred bucks though. Good luck.

I thought CP built your all your lights? Guess you decided to try it yourself? Looking good so far but those little fins would have been . Good choice on taking those off. I gotta go up to Anaheim this Friday to pick up a set of Artisan Spirits vented fenders from the guys at Final Stage. Can't wait.

Putting some black carbon fiber wrap all inside the housing to match the corner lights CP built for me. See pics for latest progress. Got to envision the endgame (sanded, black carbon fiber, maybe some led strips). Lol, cuz it looks hideous right now.

CP has declined as of late. My last two projects they built ummm... were "not to spec." So I decided to tackle my own headlights. It isn't all that difficult but it's a thinking type of project due to all the custom everything. I always liked the artisan spirit fenders. Sleek and simple. And I like finalstageparts. Might be buying some stuff from them soon. Just so broke right now.

Rugby, anything especially difficult about pulling off the oe fenders? Wanted to mock mine up this weekend but this is my daily so I gotta be careful how deep I get into stuff on the weekend. Monday comes too quick when your car is in pieces!

Nope. Lots of bolts. The module that beeps when you unlock/lock the doors is bolted on the inside of the drivers fender. Unplug that harness before yanking @ the fenders. Also headlights and corners need to come out or you need to at least take that one nut off hidden under the corner lights that locks the headlights to the fender. Pretty straightforward if you have a set of working eyeballs.

Cool. Thanks for the tip. And since I do not wish to hijack your thread any further - I will post a pic of the new fenders somewhere else. Lol
