I've been looking through the internet to get some ideas of what I can do to my car when I came across this:

The way this man did his headlights and tailights is absolutly gorgeous to me, anyone have an idea how he did such a thing?
Is this a really difficult (for experience users only?) for someone to do?

That is VERY difficult to do. You would have to learn quite a bit about body work.

You would need to be an experienced body man or have an endless bank account for someone else to do it. Looks like all he did was graphed a different front bumper on and modified the hood and fenders to fit the new headlights. The tail lights look pure custom made.

Modify as in he cut pieces out of his car to make the headlight fit?
And yeah, I guess this is something you'd need some skill to do. When you say "pure custom made", I'm sorry but it still bogles my mind as to how someone could make a custom tail light?

By the looks of the youtube video, the front bumper cover is off of what looks to be an Acura RSX along with the headlights. Yes you can tell by the primer/freshly ground metal that the hood and fenders were cut and rewelded in the shape they needed to fit around the headlights. By the looks of the rear, they have an aftermarket rear bumper as well which they modified with fiberglass to make new light buckets in the shape and position they wanted. With experience and know how, you can make just about anything with a welder some metal and some fiberglass.

I like how they molded the tail light buckets into the bumper, BUT the bus tails have got to go WAY WAY too big. I liked the tinted OE tails he had on there better. Modding headlights is not that hard, Modded RX8 headlights in an MX back in 05' was kind of a pain but not that bad if you can do basic cutting/welding metal fab.

Have you got any pics of that? Seems like it would look interesting.
