Another Rainbow Unicorn Sierra in the books

5/13/2018

Busted out another set of custom GMC Sierra Projector Headlights for a local dealership here in town.
The last set sold an already tricked out truck as soon as the client saw what the headlights could do....so when they showed another potential client what they could do, he opted to have an identical set built.

So we went with ALL black internals again (Triple Smoked Lenses with Gloss Black Paint)
Then we upgraded the factory Turn Signal bulb with a Switchback LED as well as junked the factory (White Only) DRL LED Boards and swapped in some Switchback LED Boards.
Then to give it that fancy-pants look, threw in some RGBWtf Rainbow Unicorn Triple Demon Eye accents.

These went on the truck and then it shipped out down to Texas.

Here is how to properly 'Murder Out' an SUV

4/1/2018

This build right here is what sets us apart from most other shops....in the truest sense.
While this may not be the most epic massive build we're ever done....this shows what we can truly get done when customers trust us and leave it up to the professionals!

This client has been following us for quite some time (since he lives near the shop) and he acquired this GMC Yukon Denali from his 'papa' after his passing. In honor of him, the client wanted to make this Denali stand out among the rest...but make it a nice tribute at the same time. He had a general idea of what he wanted to do; but mainly let us do our thing and couldn't wait to see the final result.

Here is all we did:

De-Chrome ENTIRE vehicle
Tint Windows
Smoke Taillights
Custom Headlights
LED Foglights
LED Light Bar
Custom Front Grill
Lowering Springs
New Wheels
Performance Intake
Painted Brake Calipers

So....this is Phase 1 of this build....the client has already stated he'll be back for me.....but this was the dramatic 'visual' portion of the build....and boy did we acheive that! No other shop in the valley could take a vehicle like this and achieve this look without shipping 1/2 of the parts off for other specialty shops to help.....we facilitated every aspect of this build for the client!

DE-CHROME
This was a massive portion of the build. over 1/2 of the chrome pieces on this car simply DO NOT come off...if they do, you're pretty much assured they'll break and you CAN NOT replace them.....so we did a 50/50 WRAP and PAINT. The parts we could remove, were taking to our homie Lewin to throw down that Gloss Black amazingness....and the rest were wrapped in Gloss Black by the gents over at Eidetic Creations.
In the process of removing ALL of these intricate chrome pieces, we also grenaded the OEM grill and prepped that for paint. We also removed all the factory lighting and either threw some away, prepped for paint or stuck them in the oven for customization....@250 degrees!
We tinted the remainder of the windows to match the rest and give it that sleek murdered look.

SUSPENSION
We installed a 2"/3" Lowering Kit via new springs....this brought the SUV down to the perfect ride height...as they left plenty of room to play with from the factory.
Then we wrapped his nearly new existing tires around his new 22" Dub wheels....which fit perfectly with the overall look of the build we had envisioned!
While we were in there messing with the suspension, we remove the brake assemblies and coated them in a nice hotrod Red brake caliper paint....so they'll stick out through the new wheels and give it that slight accent color that's deserving of this menacing beast!

LIGHTS
The client knew he wanted custom headlights....but in a pinch I couldn't give him the full meal deal of what could be done.....so we settled on 'do what you can in as little time as possible'....and that's what we did.
I split open the headlights and fully blacked out everything. There was some intricate masking involved because GMC actually has a nice little Carbon Fiber panel inside...which is not removable...but I wanted to keep it. The memorial portion of this build was to be a surprise to his G-Ma and recreate his PaPa's business logo and discretely place it somewhere few would notice without it being pointed out.....what better place to do this than INSIDE the headlights.
I had the gents over at Eidetic recreate this old logo from a picture....then I placed it inside the the high beam bucket and it blends in nicely! The client also asked for a some subtle 'Hustle' texts.....as that's how he got to where he is today....so a nice small Matte Black on Gloss Black combo hides it perfectly!
Whilst I was in there, i also threw in some Red Passive Demon Eye paint....so at the right angle, this beast looks pissed off!
For the foglights, we replaced them with our Morimoto XB LED Fog Assemblies.
The Rear taillights got the "trax dark" smoked and the front grill got a Baja Designs 30" Squadron light bar!

This was one of those projects where we touched about every inch of this thing and it truly shows.....it completely changed the look of this ride. So much so, Ryan didn't really want to give it back....and while it was getting the final touches in the shop, NUMEROUS clients offered to take ownership of it before giving it back to the actual owner......which means we must have did something right! Even after the fact, we didn't put our logo on this car and we are STILL getting people saying that they spotted it in the wild and thought "I bet them Trax boys did that thing"

This was such a fun build.....can't wait to get it back for Phase 2!

Cali Sierra gets the Trax "Midnight Package"

1/1/2018

Client out of California sent me all his lights from his GMC Sierra to get the Trax Customs 'Midnight Package' Upgrade.....or at least that's what I'm calling it.

He sent me his factory projector headlights, chrome tow mirrors, rear taillights and 3rd brake lights.

HEADLIGHTS
For these, I simply deleted the factory amber lenses, upgraded his turn signals to a switchback version and blacked everything out except the factory clear lenses for the DRLs.

TOW MIRRORS
I cracked these open and upgraded the factory Amber running lights to Profile Switchback White/Amber LED strips....and then put them behind some Klearz Smoked Lenses and upgraded the chrome Upper/Lower covers to some factory Black ABS Plastic Covers.

TAILLIGHTS
Lewin gave these my 'Trax Dark' smoked treatment.....these are your average rattle-can taillights...these bad boys will blend with your factory paint and actually show you the flaws in your factory paint due to the high glossy-ness of the paint on the tails. They still allow 90% of light to pass through...so you shouldn't have any legality issues either.

I'll post pics once they are mounted up on the truck when it's complete.....it's getting fully rebuilt on the suspension side down in Cali currently.

Evo X Headlights - Flat Blackout

3/25/2012

Had a local Evo X owner that needed his lights blacked out.
Instead of everything, we left the orange reflectors un-painted.
Got them separated and ready for paint in 30 minutes...then they sat with the flat black over night....reassembled in the morning and back on the car by afternoon.

Made a badass car look even more badass...edness.

Throwin' some darkness at a WRX

1/25/2012

Got some WRX headlights that needed some 'darkness' in their lives.
Opened up really easy, paint went on very easy, and assembly as easy.
I even threw in a free cut-n-buff on the outter lens to get rid of the smoked cover and yellow haze that had developed over the years. I new this would improve the headlights performance at night, as well as make the black pop more.

Evo X Headlight Retrofit

Got to start these finally....have had them for awhile, just been doing too many projects that cuase alot of dust in the shop....luckily customer doesn't not need them right away.

Got them seperated, figured out the plan and went to action.

What's the plan:
Dual Projector Conversion
DRL Area LED Conversion
Dual Demon Eye Accent Lighting
Dual CCFL Halo Accent Lighting
Murdering the chrome and everything else

Hardest part so far has been setting up the DRL area for a projector shroud and lens; as well as fitting the stock projector area with a 90mm ccfl halo ring......dremel wizardry got me through this one.

Once everything dries in this cold weather we're having, I can start assembling everything and get these sealed up and on their way back to the mid east-ish.
