I would love to get my headlights blacked out but I'm just too afraid to do it myself. Anyone in So Cal know any shops that do this, preferrably have done a 2IS before? Please let me know, because I really want this done. Thanks in advance.

I hate doing this...

Can we get more pictures of your car and her mods specifically? Can you also direct us to a good place to buy some of this stuff...?

How is the comfort with the springs?

I think the blacked out headlights look very nice. I'm surprised how good it looks on the solo stage's sapphre pearl. Makes me want to do mine as well.

I have to vote no on this one. Its not the Honda scene IMO. But to each his own. Im not hating, just not approving
