i cant believe i just found this thread, damn those look nice, really really nice, the headlights of course, i would be to much of a woose to try that myself, maybe i can get someone to do it for me
only thing that i would have to say is that the sanding part. man that was a bitch especially the part where there were rivots around one part of the chrome piece. you may want to mention the part of masking off the reflector part of the turn signal cause some areas is illegal to black those out i believe. other than that most of it was pretty detailed. also add wat kind of silicone to use. cause i was having some trouble making decisions wat to use but decided to use the high grade black silicone from my local advance auto.
just to check.. are most people putting down the krylon fusion/primer, then going over with the high-temp paints, or are some people just doing without the fusion/primer? And I see people using Ace high-temp, dupli color, and engine/caliper paint.. any other suggestions? And what are your preferences, gloss or flat?

I want to also comment on the blacking out of the blinker...DON'T DO IT!
I wish I wouldn't have but I already sanded it so...yeah.
Also, careful to pull the cover off parrallel to the rest of the light, I broke a tab because I was wedging them apart.
But, Viper, DIY was excellent aside from that!
I did mine in flat black to go with all the other flat blackness of my car!
