Looks good...i have one done and am procrastinating about taking the second one part to paint it...probably since it's 116 degrees here.....ugh. But i am doing gloss black since my car is black....nice to see what it looks like when done! Good job kid

 

like 1sicklex said, I wound NOT have done flat paint. Looks cheap now. Its good that you're 17 and doing these diy projects though

 

looks good for a first time dyi, flows good with your car paint, good job

 

looks clean, don't think that could be pulled off in any other car color

 

looks great, thanks for sharing the excellent pics !

 

flat black isnt a great idea but it looks good with your car.

 

not too bad. not my cup of tea, but good job!

 

Nice job if you're going for the "murdered out"/sport look .....

I've been thinking of trying this stuff ..... it comes in smoke now and basically 'tints' anything that is already chromed

well the hell with that.... i love it man but im also wantin to paint my WHOLE car flat black. great job i think it looks awesome

 

looks nice...but i hope you used high-temp paint.

 

Good job dude, very nice, it does flow with your car paint from what I can see from the pics.. I remember a time when it was kool to be original, and not copy off of everyone else.. good stuff for going that route..and also good job for knowing your facts,..lol did not know the sport design headlights were only released after 03'..

 

That's a hell of a job!!!!!!! Great work!!!!

 

glad to be of help and glad to hear your project turned out good.

 

anyone else do this? I wonder how it would look like on a lighter colored car.

 

I did mine with a metallic gunmetal spray. Pics were taken on Friday w/ some fellow club lexus members





flat black makes it look more murdered out. mine was actually accidental. i was going for that lighter gun metal/dirty silver look that the new NSX headlights had, but the can i got turned out to be much darker...
