Are you referring to color-matched like the newest corvettes? If so, I thought about doing that to mine but I'm worried about getting a good seal after disassembling the headlight itself. ie. moisture and fogging.....

Import Tuner's Nov 07 issue has a red s2000 with custom red headlights. I personally don't like this idea, but hey everyone has their own taste...anyhow I took some pictures so you can see them! Sorry about the poor quality, they came straight from the mag....enjoy!

It's been done many times. I did it 4-5 years ago.

Take it easy on him!! He went through the expense of having them powder coated, not painted...it just looks like they're painted.

I've seen this done on a blue S, and many VW GTI's and looks really good. I've considered this on my Spa Yellow S but I may go with simply painting the flat black into a glossy black, or perhaps a wrinkle finish. The other alternative would do on my S would be black tinting on the head and tail lights and blinkers.

thanks for backing me up man, I wanted black rims and whats the point of paying a **** load of money for black rims when I can just have them powder coated. I still think painting your headlights is still lame!

painting your headlights and taillights to match the color of your car is lame.. Nastiest thing i've seen done to an S in a while...gross. If you want them to match, just make sure you get a black s2000.
