You know how the Ferarri 575 and the C6 Vette have colormatching housings around their lenses? That looks slick to me and I would love to see a Max with a similar setup. Can anybody photoshop what I'm talking about? I hope I am explaining it well enough. Since the 5.5 gens have such nice headlight clusters I think it would really set it off.

 

hmm iv neva personally seen it bu ti kno that teddibear has it done to his. it looks sik! candy apple outside, candy apple inside

 

yeah, teddibear's max is killaz!! Some photoshoppers could do some wonders for us. Anyone bored?

 

If I was any good on Photoshop I would do it but I'd rather see it done by somebody with some experience. I know it will look great.

 

Anybody good at photoshop? I am eager to see how this looks.

thats teddibear's homepage

 

That looks good. But I wanna see it on the 5.5 with the HIDs.

 

I'm thinking of doing the body color to my HIDs for a while now.

I think Flat Black will be better!

 

Yeah Im gonna paint mine a flat black.....but my car is black so I guess thats body color matched.....lol

somebody here on the org. has done that on the 2K2 HID housing. his was body colored headlights (grey lustre) i think it look nice...just don't remember who it was...

 

 

Polo..nice pics..any fullshots of the whole car..Ive been debating if this looks good on Grey Lustre...

 

Polo, that looks good man! Thats what I mean... I have Majestic Blue paint. Wonder what it would cost to get a quart of that stuff....

 

It shouldn't be that expensive, try a body shop, they should mix some for you. When you do, let me know how much. I'd like to broze mine like the AE, just scared to open or damage the headlights, cash is kinda tight right now. Chris

 

not body colored, but gloss black:

 

You mean somthing like this

I love the way my car looks with the headlights painted black...
DO IT...
another shot

 

How about I swap mine for yours + cash???

 

Still debating whether to paint the inner housing on my 2K2 headlights when I install the DDE...still don't know if I want that look on my Glacier Pearl...

 

A question for the guys who painted theirs black, did you use a gloss black or a flat black. I dont know which to use that would best match my black car.

i used flat black...
it really turned out good...
i taped all the chrome off to so i wouldn't spray that...
i always get good comments from all my friends on the way it looks

maximilion sorry bro...i love my headlights...
its really easy to do man...you can do it
BTW your car is hott man!!!!

 

Yea, i'm with you....i want to do it, but want to see what white would look like. Black blends in, it's subtle...but white will definately stand out. Also, you don't think painting the housing would affect the light pattern from the HID's do you?

 

How hard is it to get the headlight cover off?

 

check kpazzo6's car... he has a white max with black painted housings.... looks great IMO.....

 

Yea, but i was thinking of painting mine white

 

i never ended up doing this. the headlight that you see pictures above was the original headlight that was sent out for the first angel eyes. he took that headlight and used it as his prototype, so it's prolly chopped to bits right now.

secondly, car looked too aggressive for my tastes. silver looks classy.

thirdly, if you do this, i prefer a flat black rather than glossy black. imagine 2 different colors, both shining....that's tacky. if it's the same color, then match it with glossyness. if it's 2 different colors, then make the headlights flat so that only the body bling blings. the only other color that you may get away with is white, since it's such a contrast.

you may disagree with me, but after doing it, that's what i feel is best.

 

I also like the stock silver/gunmetal color of the stock 02-03 heads/tails.

I was considering painting black with 00-01 SE tails, but I don't think I'm gonna go for that blacked out look.

I'm now debating having the inner housing paint-matched...

 

I'm also sort of debating whether I wanna paint the housings on mine or not..... I really need to see a black car with black housings in person to get a feel for what it looks like. Some pics of black cars with the black housings look good, but others it doesnt look right......I'm not sure what I wanna do....

PoLo, you are saying that if your car is black, you would use a gloss black or flat black?


-Steve

 

I'm sorry... what I meant to say in my earlier post was my HIDs + cash and trade for yours. Would you reconsider? You can make some extra money.

If not, anyone else wanna trade?

 

I think the black on black is tight, and I'd do it. The issue is b/c my car is white...

 

black would be a better match with your black rims.

 

Gloss black on mine..Blends in well with the CF hood

 

match it to the car./.. itll look good... when opening be very careful, i melted two sets before i got it right lol... use a wet towel and put it around the headlight before you bake it.. let the steam warm the glue and it wont melt the plastic...good luck
