Default Headlights - painted 'em black+amber = look pics - er, 56k watchout for overspray

hey yall, just finished one of my headlights. damn, was a bit of a job, takes a lotta precision. and my back hurts, but it looks great and not too many people have it like how i did it, i think?.... check it out. amber paint for the turn signal and flat black for the housing. i really reallly like it. looks like the s2000 headlight now!!!!











edit- pics of lights sort of on the car- they arent even bolted so they are hangin off

What I really want to know is Why "Sorority life can easily turn out worse than a reality show"?

Pics on the car fully installed would be nice. Also some with the lights on.

Interesting to see how you see the "S2000" look in this mod while several S2000 owners (like myself) have gone through the work to replace our amber diffusers with clear diffusers.
