I finally painted my headlights. I installed the leather myself. It is still loose but heat will do the trick. Sorry if anyone else has seen it on the other Maxima site. So, how does it look?

EXCELLENT JOB. I have the same exact color, same year & same tails. I am getting ready to 2 tone my interior with a burgandy wine color. How did you get the headlights apart, what kind of paint did you use and how did you get them back together. What part (DOT & SAE legal) are able to be painted? Can you get a close up from the side. Once again, EXCELLENT JOB!!!!!

I used krylon black fusion spray paint. I painted everything but the reflector parts inside the headlights. Just search the forum for painting headlight instructions.

whats wrong with the front seat leather? It looks really bad, you should have the leather tightened a bit and evened out, besides that, looks very nice. The headlights are by far my favorite.

Thanks! I bought a steamer for the loose and wrinkles parts in the leather, and it works wonders.
