you just have to take your time and be careful. it's not that hard, just time consuming.

those things were a total bitch to do cause i had problems with the paint and i did it with no sleep from the night before...but anyways they came out really nice but my headlight collects moisture now and i have to go back and seal it up better. This just started happening like two weeks ago after i did the job two months ago





IMO the aftermarket, JDM, or whatever blacked-out headlights look better after looking at my friend's but if you are poor this is the best way

they look the same?? hmm, maybe i should do this instead of buying the black housing ones off ebay! i have a black on black crx si..its black, black tint(smokey on driver/pass side and windsheild) black windsheild tint strip, black team dynamic racing wheels, black wilwood calipers this thing is flat out from an african tribe black! i want to get an rsx type s and do the same thing and i guess this smoking thing would be nice too! what about that spray stuff? i did it to my crx and its really clean smokey looking but onces its on that **** dont come off. what about it on the headlights tho??

i seen a celica gts with the tint out tail lights yesterday EVERYTHING was black too omg it was so mean looking, gotta love black its real intimidating
