re: the headlight paint

Are you saying that you custom mixed the paint color? I like a gray or titanium tone rather than just plain black, so I'd like to learn more about your color choice.

re: the tinted tail lights -- is that a tint paint, or a film?

Love the look -- the eyebrows look nice as a contrasting accent -- I haven't liked the look when they are body color.

Thanks.

We custom paint the lights locally and found the new color looking better than the stock BRABUS satin Black.

The tail lights are painted. We shoot clear over them with a bit of Black tint. We typically do a 3 stage process to get the tint looking right.

We have the eyebrows in Silver, Black, Blue, White and the other colors we do by special order. On many cars they do look good when they are the opposite color, on some they look good when they are matching.

Glad you like the look!

The Silver matches the rest.

We do not have the other pieces in Silver, but can have them done for you if you like. The cost would be $250 (for the pieces you mentioned) plus a core deposit of $150 which would be refunded once you return the original pieces. You can probably get them sprayed for less, but not by the process we use. In the long term our process holds up much better and does not peel.

:-) As I am reading this post I looked over at my two Australian Sheppard dogs laying next to the table as I type away. Then I pictured the same thing happening to me with my dogs.

Give us a buzz at the shop and we'll be glad to assist. Our number is 562-961-6800. Typically, the more pieces we can do at the same time, the less it costs. What we would try to do is get several items painted at once to save you some money.

Thanks!

Another one

This one was done a little at a time.

First it was misc trim and parts, then the body kit, then we did the wheels and the coil overs. Now the car looks and drives fantastic!

Here are some pics:

Here is one we did a little while ago for Fresh and Easy Supermarkets:



We are finishing up another project which promises to be a REALLY one of a kind:

Flat Black exterior w/Candy Red accents
Vertical Doors
Custom Wheels by Xtatic redone in candy Red
Kuhl FX Body Kit
Tinted headlights
Tinted tail lights
Tinted side markers
Custom leather and suede interior
Custom (completely over the top) sound system w/LED screens
The entire car is being sound proofed
LED lighting
SFR Turbo
and lots of other surprises!

If you are in the so cal area swing by and check it out. We should have it finished in the next 10-14 days. Once it is done we will post detailed pics.

Thank you again everyone for your kind words and continued support.

Boris
