SushiBoi... How "might" you have some stanley's? If you do, hit me up. And on the BBQ grill paint... I like that! Never would have thought but it does make sense

Re: DIY Blackhousings (TxTuner)

does anyone know if you can do a similar job on tailights also? i have a 95 ex 4dr and was thinking it would be cool to darken them up to kinda look like the vw gti tail lights. anyone tried this before?

u could probably spray one or two coats of transparent tint spray to give the tail lights a smoked look.

also, i did my diy headlights with duplicolor gunmetal, no signs of wear after a year.
