Anyone else pulling a "Dues?"

Sure would love to see a different color done! Hmmmm...white??

Go for it bro, I have been preparing to paint the headlights on my Liquid Silver. I took a pair of my buddies Altima head lamps and took them apart and painted them for practice, that way i can play with how i want to paint them. I still have not worked myelf up to actually doing it. White would sure look nice though.

I tell you, I think body color would be awesome - white, silver or whatever. Go look at the new Vette or the Lexus SC430 which have body colored lights. Or Photoshop your car first.

Any leaking with the rain on yours so far Deus? I would do it if I had a different color car, but you guys know how I like the chrome. I bet it would look real nice on a red Maxima.

Carcas: I think red would be fabulous. If someone is local to me, I think I'd volunteet my time to try it just to see how it would look. No leaking or condensation so far. I took extra measures to make sure I didnt get moisture in the lights by heating up the room I was in and letting my lights cool down all the way. Also, remember the headlights contain a dessicant bag to absrob moisture. its located under the ballast box on the side of the headlight unit.

Somehow these chops never work out too well...but u get the basic idea

I thought red would look great also. You can see by the pic of my car in the sig, painting it bronze would probably do nothing for me. I thought about blue cars doing it but than just pictured red and black. White might look good also. Depends on what theme you are going for. Now Deus, on your car.....it is perfect. You have the I would change your name to Darth Max....LOL.

I saw a bronze Vette and I disagree. i think it would look good. Go look at a new C6 Vette in ur color and tell me those headlights arent bzitchin

I think for the lighter colors you will need the exact paint on the body for the headlight, don't you think... cause if you use a lighter white on a winter max like the pic sparq has below, it don't look good..

I agree, its gotta match perfectly. Unless I did black?!?!?

Im still kinda nervous about doing mine. But I will start the project at the end of the week. Wish me luck!

I think against the white, maybe black would look better than matching the white.


Edit: Nice wheels by the way

Does this take away from the light pattern?

I tried my best to make it look good. The first pic would be painted black without gloss and the second one with gloss. I think the contrast would look good.





Its hard to make it white...atleast I don't know how

I'm with Carcus. I like how the chrome looks. However, the black looks great on yours Deus since you've got the stealth look going.

I'll have to check out the cars mentioned above to see how the body color lights look.

agusta

Has anyone thought of maybe using black chrome? I think that color would look good on light color cars.
Thanks ohthatshot, that's a good photoshop.

nyautostyle

the chrome looks saaweet

Here's one more for consideration...would be a nice project.

Just wish things in life were just as easy to mod as in photoshop!

Pic #2 looks best IMO.
