hrm double post

 

worst case if you f*ck it up is use some oops and take it back off. then start over.

It's really easy to NOT mess up, though.

 

It is not difficult to paint them. Used flat black spray paint. I have an extra set, and I took my time with them.

 

couple of more pics

 

just a FYI, you don't have to paint all that back area that's not visible lol...

 

what is the process to correct cloudy plastic covers of my headlights ? i see what u used but I would like to know how to use them . I'd appreciate ur help

i painted my grill today...
this is my grill and the paint i used ...


my grill getting a bath


pretty much done with the sanding, just needs the finishing touches.. i chose to sand it down so im working with a fresh grill not one thats paint on top of paint... or w/e the material is.. others can choose not to


painted and ready to dry


dried and ready apply

 

Finished product ...



i was to tired to wash my car after all that so it's kind of dirty but the grill is clean and im happy i did it.
next to come is to do the headlights. which will be another weekend.

 

you need some clear coat on there...matches car better

 

have any of you changed the taillights to matched the darkened headlights/grill?

 

Like this ?



from all red to SE style.

 

IDK if i missed this part? what did use to put the headlights cover to the housing? did u use special glue that you get from autoparts or what?

 

I like the blackout theme you have going on. It contrasts well with the silver..much better then the boring gray grille

 

I think the black grille and headlights help break up the color of the car. I like the idea of painting the grille the color of the car but not the headlights. I have the same color car and I cant help but to think I need something to help break up the color its kinda blahh. I thought if I went with the black se tails black headlights and some black or dark rims this would help break up the color.

 

Sick headlights bro. I like the way to went about that. But does anyone here know where I can get some really good 5500-6000k projector headlights from? and Im not talkin about that ebay crap either, from a good brand name company for "Cheap"!!!!


Thanks-

 

Hey yo what kind of headlights are those. OEM stock w/ a twist?

Or

Are they any type of projector lights because im lookin for something like those.

 

yes, like the SE lights, they give balance to the car.

I like what you did the the car, the black grill/headlights look good. any place i can get instructions on how to break up headlights and black them out like that?

 

those are OEM HIDs...with cleared blinker

 

-Thanks SoonerFan

 

lol, YOU AND ME BOTH MAN

 

the bumper looks relle nice. but you should darken up the emblem.

 

I think the 00 bumper is just fine....




btw these pics show a good example of how I did a two tone effect
