First off I would like to tell everyone how much I dislike working and thinking about major one off mods. I made the ultimate 12" sub enclosure for my Camaro. 1 12" 1.2 cubic ft, 6 cd changer, 1 farad cap, 2 amplifiers, gps navigation, voice command. All free form fiberglass, 11 months, 4 designs, $1000, and all in the name of perfection.

I like what all the import aftermarket designers have to offer. Look for Camaro specifically and nothing! Under Chevy general category we have diamond reflectors 4" x 6". CRAP! Unacceptable!

I think we as group could do much better than them. If someone would direct me in the right direction I would like to attempt a new head light design.
All I really need to know is how to form the hard transparent lens covers. I think a fiber glass and bondo one first would give me some direction.
Maybe if this goes right tail lights could be in the picture.

REVLIMIT

man your probably gonna get bashed on like crazy for saying something like that. Oh well. My headlights at the current moment kinda look like those headlights. I got some projectors in them right now.

i would like to get those cool clear covers to make the headlight pocket flush with the front of my car, that's it though. i think that the headlights on our cars look fine how they are. i am not sure if i like imports being a model for our cars, i mean, we were here first.....thats just my .02

Sad but true. Most 3rd gen owners prefer a stock look, and can't accept that some people want something a little different. My advice is do what you want, its your car.

I got this link off of http://www.hybridz.org
one of my favorite sites. I don't own a Datsun Z car, but this is a good place to get help with custom bodywork, composite construction, engines...you name it. I think this may be just what you're looking for.

My first question is: Are you going to make custome head lights, or just put the clear head light covers on the lights. I had those clear head light covers for about a week, I thought they would give my car the smooth head light look (like the 98+ camaros) but all it looked like was clear plastic infront of my head lights. And you couldn't even tell I had the platic there unless you were about a foot or closer to the car.

i like my headlights, but i would not mind owning an entire supra!!

FyreLance

Revlimit, could you PM me a picture of your headlights? I'd like to see it. I'd say post it but I figure you'd get about 20 replies of bashing...

revlimit let's see those headlights.........

Who cares if it gets locked because of bashing it will be fun while it lasts.....

Another request for pics of those lights

devianb

I would gladly like to convert my headlights to fixed ones. Right now my left headlight does not pop up until the right one does and when I turn the lights off, the left one slams down and sounds like a machine gun after.

Supra headlights will be kind of tough, but a 300ZX style is feasible.

Hey REVLIMIT

Are those headlights in your Camaro? If so could you post a pic of those headlights?

REVLIMIT

First off I'd like to ask everyone to be mature about this. All I'm asking is that you dont post up any hateful replies againts me or my car.



As you can see they kinda look like as if they came with the projectors. Pretty much the same shape as stock yet not O_o Soon I'll be fixing the front bumper (currently I'm trying to finish my suspension), I sold the wing a while back, and soon imma be smoking the headlight housing. Oh and also my cars gonna be gunmetal soon.

Freeze

hey REVLIMIT, i've seen pics of your car. didn't you have that team P.O.S. decal?

REVLIMIT

*lowers head in shame* well I guess the thing about not bashing on me has gone out the window

Revlimit: F*ck'em if they don't like it!!!

Most mature people can appreciate a car under construction, and I for one like to see things being done a little differently. There is no law that says that your Camaro has to look like everybody else's, and I applaud people who are willing to do something different with their cars, and post it on this site. Its hard to be different and original while driving a Camaro, but your car is distinctive. The lights look good, and I really like what you did with the hood, too.

What a dick!!!

jawzforlife1

Where did you get the lights from, looks like it might be a grand pris or el-camino?

SpeedCat86

RevLimit: Those are the Silverado lights, right?

For us Firebird guys, it's tough to fit composite headlights in to the relatively small headlight pocket. another consideration is that even with the stock lights removed, the replacement lights have to have a pretty low height in order to clear the hoodline.

I just had a thought, for larger, fixed headlights, you could use a 'blistered' setup like the Corvette C5-R racers. it allows you to fit a somewhat larger light, without excessively disrupting the look of the car. I think it'd look best on any 91-92, or SE or Formula, without GFX.

My plan is to fit composite lights under the headlight doors, and modify the motors to only lift the doors partway, like the BMW 850-series cars.

(I'll send pics as soon as I can find/ make some)

My bad, thought you were just being a dick. Of course, now you are!

I better shut the **** up? What are you going to do about it?

nikh23

hey lt1guy, i think you're the only one in this situation who's being a dick about anything. IMO freeze had no intentions of bashing revlimit's car considering he actually did have the sticker on his car. you gotta calm down man, not everyone is out to get you or the people who have similar tastes as you. and also the **** comment? thats as uncalled for as the bashing that people like revlimit receive, you're no better than the "rice" haters when you're posting comments like that. I for one don't care what revlimit does to his car, considering it is HIS car and his money. and revlimit, more info on the lights please looks pretty good

LT1guy

iTrader: (1)

Like I said, I though he was slamming the car...I had never seen the pic of it with that sticker on it before. I thought Freeze had disregarded Revlimit's request that no one bash him or his car.My apology would have been nicer had the other comments not been there. I'm used to abuse on this site, but nobody is going to tell me "I better" do anything. The **** comment was not serious...hence the :lala: ...he's as much a **** as I am a *****.
I was just making a point that no one likes to be labeled. I have deleted the remark.

When we asked Chris why he put the wing he answered “well…I just bought the wing mostly cause I thought it looked cool…I wanted a wing that would stand out…and plus I got it for cheap haha”

LT1guy

iTrader: (1)

What wing do you have on it now???

Firechick

RevLimit, I think your Camaro looks cool. Ilike it. Very creative and different.I don't like ricers at all myself. everyone is entitled to like what they want to like however.

REVLIMIT

WHen I first read his reply I thought also that he was only mentioning something. But after thinking about it. Why did he mention the POS sticker? Thats the least noticable sticker yet he brought that out of no where. Sorry if I was wrong but that completely seemed like an attack.

Also putting the rear wing (although I no longer have it) is not considered rice. Rice is buying parts with the EXCUSE of performance. (ie. "I put this tach cause I wanna keep an eye on my rpm" when in reality the person put it cause he likes how the tach looks or "this cowled hood helps me gain some extra hp" when in reality he just put the hood cause he likes cowled hoods) If you call my wing "rice" then you have to bash on people w/o Z28's who put the Z28 wing. Does that wing atcually give any downforce? Only slight downforce if even any at all. People put that wing cause they like it. So its the same as me putting that wing cause I liked it. It was just person opinion. I didnt buy the wing thinking "ooo when I race on the freeway imma have better control...I need that wing cause of that" (although the wing did make the car easier to control when I was going around 140mph) I bought it cause I liked how it looked. Damn its hard to explain what "rice" really is. I hope you all will start to learn the real meaning.

As for the lights they are from a 92 Accord. (yes a honda OOOHHH NOOOOOO!!!!!! haha)

As for what wing is on my car. I currently have no wing at all. I'm looking into a couple of new wings to see which one matches the best. The new wing is gonna be more clean looking.

CrazyHawaiian

Look!! Its Kamatsu in a Camaro!! Oh wait a minute!!!

*nice pic!!*

brodyscamaro

lol, lol, thinking he was just making fun of him when rev really did have a POS sticker on his car lol

devianb

The blistered setup is fine if you don't mind having that frog look. If they made a kit I would buy though. Fixed headlights would be worth it.

vrooom305

REVLIMIT: Wasn't there a gap in the housing of the headlight when you made that conversion? Also I read that website about your car, can you also post a pic of the rear STB?

REVLIMIT

yea theres a small gap but its not super noticable. When I fix the front bumper Imma get rid of that problem though.

As for hte Rear STB its not really a STB...more like a rear link. But anyways I'll have pics of it up once I can get a hold of a digital camera.

brodyscamaro

i want to see that. thanks in advance for posting soe time in the future the pics

redraif

Hey Rev the headlights look awesome! Way to use some creativity!

Redliner

you all do need a general forum to talk in, better yet go to the chat rooms.
Anyway, who else here could help with the plastics forming

BillZ28

I'm not going to comment on the rest of REVLIMIT's car, but I do like the headlights. Where did you get them or what are they from?

CrazyHawaiian

I think his entire car looks awesome. I cant wait to see it when he's done.

iroc2nv

How about what other mods did you have to do to get the lights to work with the camaro.....

PM me with details.....would be much appreciated....

brodyscamaro

just post - i am curious, not going to do it but curious

DISTURBthePEACE

Ah gunmetal...great color isn't it? Its challenge only by hunter orange in my book . Oh, any standing still pics of those lights? Love em, look bad azz. I love drifting in the games (ala Grand Turismo 1, 2, 3) but haven't ever tryed it in my car, nor plan on it prolly. How you do it? From the games I would say you brake, crank wheel, and giver hell, but it can't be that easy.

Soon I'll be fixing the front bumper
I sold the wing a while back
my cars gonna be gunmetal soon.

Sounds like it will look MUCH better. When you paint it, are you going to paint the hood as well? I love gunmetal, I think it will look badass

Hood looks great too!

Actually, those headlights are kinda good looking. (ack! I said something nice about revlimit's car!!!!) I've been wanting to do a conversion on mine but it's not high on the list atm.

FyreLance

Revlimit that pic is awesome Hehe... I need to get a pic of my car "in action"......

automorph

SOMEONE PLEASE START THIS PROJECT The only 2 examples to consider are the Cwestin RX-7 and the i believe Callaway Corvette.

redraif

Joe and I went by a remote control car shop. They sold the big ones that were gas powered. Anyway, some of them fad their one molds for the car bodies. They might be able to point you in the right direction. One guy said his buddy did a mold for him of his truck. So thats my suggestion..., Talk to some of those guys. Also see if you can find any plexiglass or lexan sellers. They might sell to someone who works in the forming of plastics. You never know till you go ask.

blaznbrd

rev-limits car is kick A@@ i love it. Where did u get the front bumper and the hood? i wish they made that stuff for the bird. awsome job on the headlights!!!!:hail:

Rev...

Those lights look sharp. Would you send me a message describing how you did that?

Or you could write it up as a techincal article. I think it looks sharp.
