Default did the headlights

Chose a gunmetal color and opted to do the hi-beam reflector as well (not like I use em)

Before



This is about the point my wife got home and lost it

while I had it to this point, I also installed the front light bar for my underbody kit, theres a perfect spot just behind the radiator on the plastic try that was almost made for it.



lights baked and sprayed




and After

I love the part where you showed the picture where your wife got home and lost it... LOL. One day when my fiance was going through our digital camera, she saw pics of when I had our front bumper off and she totally flipped too!

How'd you sneak the headlights in the oven? My lady would truly flip if I baked the lights in there!!! Good job, but now you're running of fun things to do. What's next besides entertaining DJFrozone?!

LOL!!


Wifey was out this morning, so I scrambled

Of course after she went in she came back out asking why the house smelled like plastic

Next time I'll open a window. As for running out of fun things, nah, wait till you see the trunk project I'm starting

I'd like to actually see the expression of your wife's face, that will convey a lot more emotion than your statements!

And, yes! looks killer!

Some people have taken the orange thing out and others have just taped it off when they painted the bezels. I personally hated the orange look and painted right over mine.

Not to hijack your thread. But, to add to what he said here.
This weekend me and BiggJ(NoLimitzInd) worked on my headlights. I used headlight protection from Rockblocker.net to tint my sidemarker light. I do alot of night driving so I still wanted some light up front...


did the smoke thing to my evil cyclops eye backup light too

kept it mainly due to my neighbor (the police dude) politely giving me a subtle hint that my side marker meeds to be visible (yeah it's a fixit ticket but why give them a reason?) After that, he helped.

I had considered tinting the reverse lens but on a silver car it would have stood out way too much, looks sharp on the darker colors though
