Ohk well fair enough then... Lights going black will totally transform the front end... Looking forward to pics

Could always pull them off and paint them yellow to match the car? Just like the Pro5's in the states

all good chris!

so me and dane (db) blacked the inserts of my lights today, got to his house at 9 and didnt leave till 6,so it was a long day, most because i had a crap headlight protectors that have been on there before i bought the car and we decided to take them off which took about 2hours..

also hopefully i will start sanding the lip back tomorrow.

Haha if only marc my 21st is this weekend so wont be in any state to do anything

TheMAN · 13-02-2012, 09:00 PM

I think it would have looked even better if you used flat black paint

Mad Mat · 13-02-2012, 09:26 PM

Man that's some nice work you did there

its not to hard to do, the only part i was scared about was putting the lights in the oven, but db checked them every couple of minutes and they were fine, sanding the chrome back was the worse part..

was gonna use matte black but decided to go with satin black

Chris_180 · 13-02-2012, 10:01 PM

Really impressed, they look great! I love the yellow with black, wish my yellow paint was in as good nick as yours!

Drift Thorpey · 13-02-2012, 10:20 PM

Been through your thread man, very nice progression with the car, making a lot of subtle touches that combine to make a very well rounded car!

Personal faves so far are the stickerbombed fascia panel and blacked out headlight innards, a very tough looking mod that most people are scared off by due to needing to open up your headlights. Good work

Look forward to seeing more photos and progress fella!

Nice work DB

BG1.8sp · 14-02-2012, 12:05 PM

Looking great, that with the front lip will be sweet.
I was going to go Saturn black when I did mine, but changed my mind and went flat black...
Made it look more like the factory black plastic.

Rekon the Saturn would look better on a yellow car anyway.

SP-20-DB · 14-02-2012, 01:33 PM

The satin black looks mint on her lights especially as it had the film protector, her lense is basicall brand new no scratches or anything.

just jess no need the black bonnet doesnt everyone agree

Rupewrecht · 14-02-2012, 02:20 PM

Satin Black, not saturn

SP-20-DB · 14-02-2012, 02:32 PM

Bahahaha thanks dan :P

mynameisdaniel · 14-02-2012, 04:03 PM

Black and yellow looks good, although I think the yellow fog lights look a little out of place now... Well at least I think tinted would fit in a bit better....
I painted my headlights matte first but it looks pretty average in sunlight so I redid them in satin, looked good in any light
