A lot of work but a lot better than paying for new headlights

I used gloss black if anyone is wondering

Next up is saving up for some Tein S techs

Looks good. Lose your resonator in your passenger side wheel well. It's not hooked up, why keep it?

i agree, get rid of that stupid black box if you got an intake.

oh yeah, and as pdiggity said, this doesnt belong in the EG forum, but in the Appearance/Cosmetic forum. unless you add some tech info, get it moved.

oh another note though, i do like the looks of the headlights. i think i might be doing this soon to my sedan actually. dont you think though with them being painted that the heat from the bulbs would in a way, melt the paint off? this is the only thing thats kept me from doing it earlier is the paint inside the blinker lense.

has anyone people that have done this for awhile have problems similar to this???

If you're worried bout the paint melting, just get high temp paint. I used the duplicolor engine enamel flat black. No problems at all.
