Painted headlights w/PICS **56k Friendly**
i cant stand chrome... not on my car at least. so i figured id do something with all that nasty chrome on my headlights...

...but i didnt want to be like everyone else and do them flat black :\
besides, CTR headlights are black chrome... so it doesnt even make sense to me...

so i chose Desert Silver Metallic. got the code off an RSX-S, and had some paint mixed.
I cleared the corners, but left the clear reflective piece in there, and painted it to match.

anyway, im pretty pleased with the results... so yeah... let me know what you guys think. ;D

thanks....

we did my friends the other day too...
he did his all flat black... and we cut the amber lens in half...
and stuck the bottom part back in...

and painted it black too... so it looked like we shaved the bottom part of the headlight that the amber lens covers...
