custom paint job

I am getting ready to paint my 02 satin silver lx sedan. I am thinking with going with a charcoal color like they have on the new bmw. I am going to take the honda emblem off, the trim on the the doors, put on M3 mirrors(with or without the led's i am not sure) and get the front and back chrome pieces painted to match. The question I have is that I want to paint my taillights and my projectors. I have TYC projectors and I wanted to paint the black part to match my car. I have Altezza lights in the back, I know most of you hate them, but I think they look better than stock. Well anyway I was thinking of having all the chrome of the taillights painted to match my car, insided of the lens not on the outside. What do you guys think on painting the projectors and the taillights to match, good or bad idea?

Sounds like a good idea for me go for it! You will be the first on here to paint TYC projectors and sedan altezza tails to match your car.
Your idea sounds great and original IMO I would go for it because it would look different and unique.

I think it would be sweet as hell.

Probably a first to do all of that.

Btw, I love that BMW charcoal color. It owns.

Yeah it would be a good idea to do all that! ! !

By the way buy a kit and put it on....cost you less then doing the car and after put a kit...that's my opinion!

And for the question about the projectors and tail light...DO IT MAN it will be creative I've never saw something like this on a sedan!!!

And like I did just let the engine bay ssm...that's the better thing you can do....as long as you want it clean...!!!



and here is another pic of my engine bay ssm...

about the kit, I had planned on getting that too before I get it painted, but I want to keep it clean so I am thinking about going with the OEM kit. Does anyone have any recomendations for a really clean looking lip kit?
