I got my new bumper a week ago since the old one was broken.
So when I was painting my bumper I thought of a modification I had seen on other cars but never on a Zuk! Painting the inside in the headlights. And I also painted the middle of my grill. I hated it with the silver middle. Looked like a bumble bees nest!
Here are the pictures:

awsome fender flares... are they factory? and where can i get a set?
-
Seksy.
You get new tires?
weseles...hahaha...no, those definitely aren't factory. Do a search for his rig and you'll see what all has been done to it. We've just recently discussed it.

Looks more modern, I wish I could do something like that to my tracker but the headlights are flat and small

Looks nice. Very subtle but adds a very good touch to your vehicle.
Good job.

I think it looks great! I might copy that. So how'd you do it? I'm guessing you removed the whole lamp assembly, and then pryed the clear cover off? Did that clear cover/lens come off easy or did you have to break any sort of glue/sealer?
I still have to at least adjust mine - they're aimed a litte too low.

Yes I took the whole light assembly off and put it in an baking owen :D
Set it to 150°c and left them in there for about 10minutes...Pretty scary..haha.
Then I took them out, wearing pottholders of course and pryed the lens off. Its really easy after you heat it becouse the sealer becomes gooie and loose :)
After that I took the chrome thingy out of the lense. There are three screws that hold it. Sanded it a little bit and painted it black.
Put the light and lense in the owen again for about 5 minutes and put it back together.. :D
Here is a DIY guide that might help http://www.jlevisw.com/Bake.pdf

Hi, where do I find out more info on those fender flares? is there a separate thread?
-
Don't know. There are "generic" rubber fender flares that you could fabricate to fit your truck.
