The Umnitza ones only come for cars with washers as far as I can tell. I have the standard clear headlights, but regular round rings. I NEED to get rid of the chrome. Carbon fiber is my first choice, solid black is my second.

Anyone? Bueller?

 

Never even heard if those 'Umnitza' rings...

Ever thought about body color?

 

Yeah, I really want to keep it simple, so I was going to get black vinyl on the rings. The car's jet black, so it's not too hard to match...

Oh, and the Umnitza ones are the CF Werks...

Have you thought about vinyl wrapping the headlight rings? Lagston wrapped mine and they've held up great since July when I got them. You can find some of his work here.

 

Yeah, I have talked to Lyle about it briefly. Just exploring options right now. The CF Werks ones seemed to possibly be real CF (at $149, maybe right?), and the cars that I've seem them on look amazing, so that was my first choice

Not to take anything away from Lyle though. His work is great!

 

Like I said on a post from before....call Matt at Umnitza. He will work with you on the standard headlight CF......................

 

Sometimes I just like to hear the sound of my own voice...or hear the sound of my own keys as I type?

Might need to tell me things three times sometimes

 

Umnitza no longer carries any of them...didn't seem too eager to help me out either

 

Just some more info on Lyle's CF vinyl. The vinyl doesn't match the JCW CF stuff. JCW's CF has a black hue to it. While Lyle's can look blacker like in the photos on his site, they usually look like more of a dark silver CF weave. It works out for me since my car is also dark silver but I think it would look pretty awesome on jet black.

 

I was going to get his black vinyl and the light gray smoke tint on the heads I think. You think that the CF would look better? Hmmm...

He wraps them and then you swap the whole headlights or something, right?

 

Black vinyl and tint would look cool too actually. The headlight rings should pop off. He'll send you the wrapped ones and add a core charge to the bill. You swap the rings out and send your old ones back to him for the core charge refund.

 

I bought those from Umnitza when they first came out. Unfortunately, my experience with them seems to mirror yours. There customer service leaves ALOT to be desired.

 

They have carbon fiber sticker at Pep Boys.

 

i haven't found any carbon fiber vinyl that matches the JCW. anyone else?
