Pics of black housing headlights and tint

The headlights came out better than I expected. The flat black color of the paint comes really close to matching the tone of the grey luster, and i LOVE the smoked look that the signal and parking lights have now. i gotta give all the credit to Don (pearl96max) for sacrificing his hands in the heat and opening up the lights...but i helped tape somewhat! i also had the tint done, 20%, thru a guy Don knows. one piece rear window with NO ISSUES with the dot matrix. ill get pics of that later.

im still debating whether or not i wanna put the LCT carbon fiber eyelids on, i think it looks really agresive, so ill see. lemme know what you guys think

The lights look good. I want to paint mine the same, but don't want to have to open up the lights. I need clean that damn haze thats on the inside of the housing so we'll see

Very nice! Paint the grill grey color too and you're set! Just a suggestion.

Looks great! I did mine about a month ago as well. It gives our cars a much more aggressive look.

M-m-mercy! After PoLo, wildmanal and Hamy, you're the new absolutely stunning grey lustre. I really can't wait to see the rims and bodykit. I'd say, wait until you put the front lip on and then decide if the eyelids would be too much. Did you swap out the tails already?

thanks for all the compliments guys

i do definitley plan on lowering it, but i am gonna wait until after winter, unless i get some crazy deal on springs and struts before then.

i didnt get the SE tails yet, but now its pretty much inevitable, with the headlights, tint, blacked out chrome time, i need the black tails. itll complete the look. i had the eyelids on before briefly, and it looked good, but it kinda looked outta place on an otherwise stock max. i think ill listen and put them on when i get the lip on

and i think more than likely, when the lip gets painted, i will have them do the grill and the door handles, to make it as aggressive as possible

lol, it looks mostly black and white cuz my car is grey, the light is flat black, the side marker is white, and the lights are chrome. theres no other color on the car...what did you wanna see, red?

i dunno how else to prove that they are real...i guess you can come see them, or ask Don....

im pretty sure it was duplicolor flat black, from autozone. its got NO gloss to it at all, even though the can says "high gloss". the color of the cap is exactly what i got, and it matches the color of the car VERY well.
