Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Custom carbon fiber headlamp VS TRD M Sport headlamp covers

this is a TRD M sport headlight and the other one is just a custom 350z headlamp with the inner plastic part covered with Carbon fibre. Well, this TRD M sport headlight cost few $$ grand, but the other one we can just DIY it ourself.the matter is, where to get this kinda Carbon Fiber material. sorry i had no idea thats y im asking al of u.

Anyone can share some info where to get this Carbon Fiber? I would prefer this custom Carbon Fiber rather than spending few thousand quit to get that "TRD" thingy and it dont look good after all. any opinion guys?

if you can find out please let me know that is bad ass

all we need to hav is the Carbon Fiber material that can be custom DIY. anyone know where to get these Carbon Fiber thingy? EBAY? or??

u can get cheap vinyl fomr ebay but diy c/f will take some money and effort. havent seen someone do it yet. need to get the cloth, then epoxy and hardener. i woudl have someon do it for you so you dont mess up ur headlights or do a small project 1st

why are those REAL Carbon Fiber so expensive? hhmm... anyway if it can be done well its worth trying. thats my car beow and would it look nice with this kinda custom Carbon Fiber headlamp?
but em~ splitting the headlamp covers, isint that a risk? sometimes when the glues are not well glued theerfore our headlamp wil be fill with water vapor in it. thats the main problem.

yea thats a problem. c/f is always expensive, plus the work and tiem put in to modl it costs a bit. Another reson c/f is becomming really expensive is becasue a concept plane project is buying up all c/f fomr the companies that make it. so this summer will be a big rise in c/f pirices as well as a shortage in c/f products, esp hoods

damn i hate those hood spoilers or whatever. So fucking ugly. Boo all together.

you could always try and find c/f vinyl and open up the headlights and put them on the stock housing. If you're doing real c/f it may cost the same as getting the m-sport which was discontinued I believe

i could probably do this, IF i had an extra headlight to work on though

You have the right to your opinion but this is not the topic of this thread.

ps i like them

With carobn fiber vinyl, it would match if you had the c/f tailights becasue they are the same pattern as the reg vonyl. but for those with c/f hoods and such it wont flow well and may look cheap but i woudl probably buy them

it definitely cannot connect with the Carbon Fiber hood scoop as they will look cheap instead. i'll hav to think twice before i screw this up dewd. i'll probably get myself an additional cheap used headlamp b4 i start my DIY.

Just paint them, it looks similar...

no way~!~!
it looks totally different dewd.

I didn't know you could use 350Z headlights on a celica!!
Has anyone done this? I wanna know how!!

I think that the carbon fiber headlights came from the 350Z and if the two are compatible with eachother then try googling it under the 350Z

the 350z headlights have been used on a celica, was in a mag. but thats not what he is talking about. He is jsut using that as an expample and wants ot c/f his celica headlights

i think by wasting effort and $$ DIY customaking this Carbon Fiber headlamps doesnt worth it after all. Gotta buy the Carbon Fiber sheet that relly cost alot.
Maybe try spraying it black and put on a TRD Carbon Fiber eyelid. Whadaya think?

Carbon Fiber prices are going up sharply, due to rising demand. Better git it now!

yea i woudl jsut paint them and get c/f eyelids. yea c/f is goign up due to a concept plane buying up all the c/f and limiting all companies on what they can buy

hmm... any idea where i can get the TRD Carbon Fiber eyelid as well? i actually got this TRD eyelid but its not Carbon Fiber... argghh... what a waste, i hav those scoop, hood spoiler and eyelid that was bought only 2months ago. and i planned to change it now...
sigh!!!...
