hey mango, did you just use masking tape to seal off the chrome of the parking light and turn signal areas?

btw, looks really good with white. for SSM, i think the dark gray that cryption used is the best...

yes i used tape to cover where i didnt want painted, actually on the second headlight, i found it easier to just paint it with the amber piece (orange corner lens) while attched to the headlight. then go back, take off that amber piece, and paint that lower portion by the reflector

Me and Jeremy (Evol) did mine. Didn't take all day, but took a few hours, seeing how we had to make a trip or three.

CF hood - no way.. and i'd say i started at 12 and ended at 6... including 3 trips to the store and working on other friends cars as well. and as far as the moisture problems, they went away! i think that first night there was moisture trapped in the headlight cause i was working on it... been a week and no moisture ever since that first night after it dried out... weird..
