heres a front pic of the DIY blacked out headlamps of my blue coupe 03.

i rather save the money and paint them myself then paying like $150 for projectors. and plus, problems can occur with them since their not perfectly made to perform as good as the good ol' stock headlamps.

flat black, non-gloss. 15min of time in between coats.

$4 of paint for this is well dam worth it..

i dont know about the blue, you'll get tired of it one day. Yes, the little small parking light bulb area is painted and NO, u do not have to scape any chrome off that i know of. it was all straight painted over with 3 coats. i used flat black on mine... would've went with glossy black but kragen over here didnt have it in stock at the time.
