RDB LA - CUSTOMIZING 2010+ RANGE ROVER HEAD LIGHTS & TAIL LIGHTS

**mcanzio** · 10-20-2011, 02:54 AM

Any more teaser pics? You have any pics of the Rover as it stands now? Depending on how this turns out....will determine if I go through with the painting. I am crossing my fingers it looks good so then I can get mine done!

The car is in pieces right now and I need to speak to the owner about posting full pictures of the Rover first! The new Rover's are coming with the headlight/taillight trims in black soon as well, this is a no brainer mod for me. Also now we know exactly how to open them all and what pieces we can customize. We can literally paints/smoke anything in the lights now to make it look incredible. We are also thinking about buying a set and customizing them to put for sale for guys that want it shipped (with core charge fee's) with no car down time.

They will not morph if you don't over bake them. You bake them enough to soften the glue, but not enough to be able to soften the properties of the plastics...did this a few times already

Have any pics of 2010+ taillights you did? The taillights don't have glue that melts, they are glued with a special semi rigid plastic glue that doesn't simply melt by heating it up.

We've tried several techniques, low heat, slow duration, low heat, long duration, high heat, slow duration etc... The plastic will morph quite easily it's a different material then the headlights.
