Frequently Asked Questions

How much experience do you guys have with this sorta thing?
We've been working on headlamps for the last 2 years. Taillights were a new addition this fall.
What exactly do you mean by clearing out my headlamps?

When we talk about clearing lamps, what we are referring to is the removal the factory amber pieces within the headlamp housing. I do not know the legality of this, nor if you need the pieces to pass any sort of inspections (see the disclaimer below).
2002-2003 WRXs have a small amount of amber.
2004-2005 WRXs have 2 pieces of amber and DO NOT have an amber blinker bulb, you will need to replace this bulb with someone that blinks amber to stay legal.
2006+ WRXs have 1 piece of amber, and are equipped with a amber blinker bulb from the factory.

Alright, so I got that, but whats this blacking out deal?

Generally, this is in reference to painting the portion of the housing that seperates from the front (front outershell) and the rear (where your bulbs and such are). This piece is made of extremely fragic plastic and does not take well to sanding, etc. We can paint it any color you would like, more difficult requests requiring more expensive paint or more time are subject to a slight % increase on final price.
Will you work on lamps other than Subaru lamps?

Definately, new projects are exciting! However, we take zero liability if a particular housing is not oven proof. Much like our Saab project, if you would like to have your non-subaru lamps worked on, please find a "donor" lamp and send it our direction. If it works, we know that your lamps are workable, if not, the loss is minimal.
Do you do projector retro-fits?

No, not yet. We are still looking for additional sets of each model year Subaru & Saab 92x. However, this is 100% a future service.
Is the tint you apply to tail lights the same as what's on my windows ?

No, we use vinyl overlays. What's on your windows would not last more than a month when placed on the outside of your car; hence, why it is installed on the insite. Vinyl is more durable and will provide enjoyment for years to come.
Is any of this legal ?

Any service rendered by 10th St JDM is intend for off-road use only. Please enjoy your new lights at your own discrection.
What if there is a problem with my headlamps or taillamps (moisture, etc) ?

If your headlamps develop moisture you can either throw them in the oven yourself or bring them back to us and we will repair them for free. We stand behind our work and want to ensure absolute customer satisifaction.
If your overlays on your tails develop moisture for any reason we recommend that you take a safetypin to the bubble and create a small outlet for the moisture. Using your fingers or a credit card, move the moisture until it is pushed through the hole.
I am interested in your services, how may I get in touch with you to set up an appointment ?

Its easy, there are 3 ways to get in touch with us, the first two are preferrable.
Send us a private message!
Send us an instant message, "tenthstjdm" on AIM.
Email us!
Legal Mumbo Jumbo
I, offically, do not know the law(s) regarding tinting tail lights. By having this done, you assume all liability. For all intents and purposes, any application or service rendered by 10th St JDM are for off-road use only. Due to the nature of tint (one time application), it is non-returnable and refunds will be not issued (Except if the merchandise is damaged during shipment or installation by 10th St JDM). Any variations in monitors and video cards may affect how the colors in our photos above appear on your screen.


As always...cheers,

I took it down to restructure the gallery, etc. For now, enjoy the temp page -- http://www.10thstjdm.com

[jayj713]

haha after 5 min? I wish there was a way you could debadge the oval subaru symbol on the back of the 06s :/.

[10th Street JDM]

Hmm, its pinned in there isnt it ? If you had a blue trunk, I'd consider trading with ya :D

[10th Street JDM]

Here's an alternative for you though, replace them with bumper bolts...or jsut take it into a body shop and have them filled...

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f298/CBR50/Trunk1.jpg

[crashtke]

Alex what are you talking about when you say blacking out the light? Wouldn't that reduce the light output of the headlights by removing some of what focuses them on the road?

[wrxin8or]

No, you black out the surround, it is a separate piece. It doesnt reduce the light output

[Alex]

No, you black out the surround, it is a separate piece. It doesnt reduce the light output

Exactly, you paint the inner housing black (not the reflective parts).

[wrxin8or]

Ive got some pics of the surrounds out of the headlights that I can post up for you Alex

[Alex]

Sure, thanks :) I was looking for the pictures from Tom's, but I couldnt find them :wtc:

[Gray Ghost]

Man, I would be very interested in getting my subaru emblem deleted from my grille. How much would you charge for that?.


Mark

[Alex]

Not sure yet, we can work something out though. Ive yet to work on an 06 so that will factor into the price (good for you) :)

[wrxin8or]

Here we go, some pics, from mostly my bugeye

That shows the darker outline where (That is Toms WRX) his headlights are painted, or at least you can tell the darker surround that would be painted.

[Alex]

thanks :)

[Alex]

Mark, sent ya a PM regarding your grille :)

[crashtke]

Gotcha thanks for the pics!

[josh booth]

I did mine my self on my bugeye and i love it. Good luck with all of this ALEX.

[Gray Ghost]

Thanks Alex...I will speak with you soon regarding the tinting...


Mark

[10th Street JDM]

Greetings. I am working on setting up tail-light tinting (for all models) as well! I will update the first post with information on that as it all unfolds.

Mark, Ill send you a PM when I know more about tinting your tails. We'll set up a day to do your grille and lights.

[jayj713]

If the grill works out with Mark lemme know. Or I can come by on the same day if you guys want :)

[knhtrdr]

Oooh! I wanna tint my tail lights too!!

[Alex]

I suppose the two of you could come by on the same day, assuming our schedules all work out.

Fareed, I'll PM you about the tint on the tails.

[Greg]

I'd like to see the 06' grill done...

[Alex]

Working on it when the mesh comes in.

[10th Street JDM]

New name, same great stuff.

No word from the tint for tails yet, I'll keep everyone updated :wiggle:

[wrxin8or]

I like the new name

[Alex]

I like the new name

Thank you. I was bored :D

[bluetwo]

I wouldn't mind seeing some close ups of an 06 whenever you get one. I haven't looked very closely at mine but it seems like it would be a pain in teh arse to retain an OEM look.

Personally I don't care too much for chicken wire.

[Alex]

If you are referring to the grille work, it wouldnt be chicken wire. Chicken wire hurts the hands and doesnt look good on anything but a parade float or your friend's farm. I intend to use high-grade aluminum honeycomb. It should be quite close to stock dimensions (width / depth / etc) and should turn out superb!

[CoolRex]

Best of luck man!

Right. Didn't mean to insinuate... I looked closer at my center section and none of it would be reusable. You have to just completely replace the center section with something. Unless you are some kind of plastic resin god.

Well you know me :o





But yeah, this is exactly why I plan on simply painting and replacing everything with sexy alum. honeycomb!

[LazyGun]

I'd like to see the 06' grill done...


Me too. :)

[Alex]

Me too. :)

I'll see what I can do, just need a volunteer :)

[10th Street JDM]

In an effort to keep this relatively organized, I am going to merge the other thread into this one and keep all mods done in this thread.

Cheers,

[LazyGun]

I'll see what I can do, just need a volunteer :)

What exactly would you do to the 06 grille then?
That's mainly why I wanted to see one, to see if I liked it and fancied it on my car. But I could be persuaded to be the first person if it looks cool (imo), and maybe if I could reverse it if I had to.

It would be entirely reverseable. I am replacing the OE mesh and emblem with a OE similar mesh w/o emblem that's painted to match the OE black.

Ill figure it out this weekend.

[legacy05gt]

do you clear out 2005 legacy grilles?

[SolutionBuilt]

Greetings,

I notice that a lot of subie owners are lookin' towards the taillight blackout. However, I was thinkin' of somethin' a little different. What is the probability of creating a silver-mirror tint for our taillights? :) I would LOVE to have a mirror-finish tint put on my taillights and headlights.

Hey Alex, can you guys tint side mirrors?

[Alex]

You want your side mirrors darkened?

[SubiNoobi]

Have you ever had some car behind you blind you at night with their headlights? And I mean the normal lights, not brights or anything. I know I'm probably more sensitive than other's but it bugs the hell out of me.

Sounds weird though, right? Tinted mirrors. But if I can't see shit at night because the lights are too bright, then its better tinted than not, right?

Im more than happy to try anything although Im not 100% this will give you the effect you are looking for.

In other news, did someone say blacked out trim pieces? PM me if you are interested. With the weather beginning to warm back up its a good bit easier to paint and move projects along quicker.

I want to add that it isnt an available service yet as I want at least a week to test the durability of it during everyday use, etc.

thanks for the install today, it went swimmingly with a quick turnaround. More chrome on the headlights really complement the stock 06 wheels, will have to see how it looks when the gold ultraleggeras come in. Post a pic whenever.

[miloman]

alex did an awesome job... the headlights give the car what it was missing... thanks a lot again bud :)

[Alex]

Oh fuck yeah! Those are sexy as shit!

They're a great color. While the shade is somewhat similar to the factory color, this paint is chocked full of metal flake. Depending on the ambient light, the actual color of the lamps will fluctuate a tad. They're straight up sexy.

[Greg]

one question, why did you have to take the bumper off?

[Alex]

You dont, but milo would rather do that than fiddle with the grill pieces :)

[miloman]

yup... the grill sits well but it took a lot of work to get it all together... the bumper, on the other hand, is extremely easy to take off on the 06, especially if u leave 2 clips off ;)

[Greg]

Good to know, I fought with my grill for a while. cutting my hands to pieces on the sharp plastic trying to get at the bolts

[Alex]

Wuss.

hey alex just wondering since you do tint if you wanted to get in any experience installing rock blocker film let me know. i ve got a kit coming in Friday and i've watched it professionally installed the first time around on my car so i may attempt it myself but just thought I'd throw it out there in case you may want it as a future service :)

[10th Street JDM]

I'd really like to try and fit 2 or 3 more people in before the week is over. The list of those of you who were interested is rather long, so please let me know if you'd like to go ahead and have work done ;)

[baddriver]

I wanted to say that Milo's grille work looked great!

I am interested in having the same sort of work done in a few months, but I'd like to keep the macho-pink STi badging.

Do you know when you''ll be set up for this service?

Also I'm not talking about this sort of grille-work:

http://www.mrbling.com/


And I'm not takling about this sort of grill

[10th Street JDM]

To clarify, I did not do Milo's grill, that was a project between Milo and whitetightmiamiMike.

However, I can help you with yours :)

Alex, I was at the Track this weekend when you called, Ill get with you later this week and we will figure something out.

So we're going a different path with Nitro's lamps, no pics yet of the blues installed.

I'll be playing with Clay's lights some more next week. I want to adjust the spacing of the lens to see if I can fine-tune the cutoff and increase the output somewhat. One of the better parts about working with lighting is that there is always room to experiment and learn :)

So Sanjay (Jesus888) stopped by this morning for some work and left w/ amber-less lamps, clear bulbs, LEDs & JDM fogs!

Everyone knows what amberless lamps look like, or at least you should by now ;) However, not that many people have seen the JDM bumper beam, its at least 1/2 the weight of the USDM one. Here's a comparison shot.

http://10thstjdm.com/customers/jesus888/beams.jpg

Now, technically, the beam is a joke to remove (& install)...assuming you dont strip a nut :) If that is the case, Sanjay and I strongly recommend a dremel and chisel -- this is, of course, if you do not have a stripped nut & bolt remover dealio.

http://10thstjdm.com/customers/jesus888/mangled.jpg

If you end up having your 350z done, definitely let me know. My dad got a black one earlier and already tinted it all around. Now he's heavily considering doing the tail lights, and I keep trying to talk him into painting the headlights. So I'm sure some pictures would help sway his decisions :)
