thanks bud

 

the real ctr's are a chromish gunmetal

 

alright

 

I used a gunmetal wheel paint made by Duplicolor.

 

Here's how mine turned out:

 

look good thanks for the responses

 

Use whatever color you want.

most people use Duplicolor Gunmetal, as mentioned above. That's the color I used...

Those lights look sick

 

has any one done or seen tham on a 95 civic if so please show

 

don't think you can because the headlight doesnt have a housing like that

 

i know its not the same housing but has any one cracked one open on a 95 civic if not i will and post pics

 

All of these are too dark to fool anybody into thinking that they're "real". The real ones are more of a chrome color with a hint of gunmetal.

 

any word on painting the 92-95 headlights? not necessarily looking to do CTR...but i would like to see someone do a write up...maybe flat black...on top of my red, i think that would look good

anyone? anyone?

 

nice instructions

 

that is hot

 

In the link above on the 2nd or 3rd page there's an EG with the housing painted black. Nice and subtle. Based on what I saw when I glanced at my lights b4, its the same idea - clips and silicone - holding it together. THe problem is that the reflector behind the bulb seems to be a 1pc deal - the part that people remove and paint on EK's isn't a seperate piece on EG's. For paint I'd suggest flat black, since you'll want as little light bouncing off the paint as possible - plus you can't see the color well enough to see gun metal.

 

I'm still waiting for someone to try an actual spray tint so the chrome still shows through like the actual CTR light...

All the ones posted look like Ebay "blacked out" lights...

 

why dont you do it yourself

 

looks good

 

I used the DIY thread posted above, but I taped over the corner chrome part before painting. It looks a lot better. Also used Duplicolor gunmetal wheel paint.
