I am not sure if you want to paint your friends headlights black just to get the jdm look. Alot of people in http://www.clubrsx.com have painted thiers and there have been a few problems with it if you make one mistake. I have even heard of the paint flaking off due to the heat. Just look around, you can find a real set of jdm headlights for around 450-500 hundred dollars.

As for the lip clubrsx sells a knock off of the lip and the real thing as well for less then the real one cost. I myself am getting a carbon fiber jdm lip for my S. Well good luck.

As I said I read on the clubrsx forums of some problems occuring from paint the head lights. Just go to the clubrsx forums and do a search for paint head lights and be prepared to be flooded with links. Good luck.
