Need opinions on headlight painting

[ToniCipriani]

I'll probably leave this as a weekend project when I get back to Waterloo.

Didn't know what it would look like on Stealth Gray, so I made the chop:

Original:



Painted:



Opinions? Paint or not paint?

[bluegtp33]

i like the painted, look even better without the orange markers

[blkGTPcoupe]

i like painted. might even look better painted to match your car. i'm planning on doing this soon too.

[EmersonHart13]

I want to do mine, but I don't want to open the headlights, I did it on my GP and I don't think I have the knack for it. :-(

[DeEric]

paint it and take the orange out

if i didn't lease my car, id be doing this

[MONTERACER]

Do you think they would say anything about it when u turn the car in at the end of the lease?

[ToniCipriani]

Or get an extra set of headlights, and do it on that.

I've seen used headlights showing up on eBay.

I'm with ya on that one, love to do this mod but don't really want to open my lights.

[GTPGuy82]

man I really gotta start a custom headlight business...hehe

[blkGTPcoupe]

yea you do...i'd pay for a set...i really want mine painted but i havent had the time or energy to do it...i keep putting it off

[EmersonHart13]

You SHOULD! As long as you keep it reasonable. All you need is one extra set because everyone can send in their old ones as cores, or they can provide you with a set, if they want their own cores. I would be more than happy to provide you money to do my set, because I really do not want to open them!

Not to mention if you are any good with niteshades you can do taillights too!

Jeesh Mike, to bad we don't like closer to each other since we've both done this it seems like we could do them for money haha!

[GTPGuy82]

damn.
