blacked out headlights, my version (new pics updated)
 
well i didnt want all black and i didnt want chrome, so i decided to go another route. BLACK and SILVER. the parking circle and turn signal areas are silver while the rest is black. its not the best masking job but i think it still looks good. lemme know what you think and am i the only one to do this?

hate to break it to you, but i'm talking about blacking out EVERYTHING so that the amber is dark. i already knew he painted the inside silver.

all in good fun man, dont be testy, Im just being literal, since their is some black in the turnsig area I dont wanna start any :argue: I just was jokin around we all know your car is :2pimp: so we cool right?

Xenin 03-10-2005 01:41 PM
actually its silver in the turn signal area, no black at all. i'll post the other side when i'm done with it. the blue headlight looks sick but wouldnt look good on my car.

joe6680 03-10-2005 01:43 PM
Does making it silver reduce reflectability and reduce light output? Did you make the headlight area silver as well?

Xenin 03-10-2005 01:45 PM
no i left the main headlight chrome. i figured while others are painting the entire thing black and losing the light reflectiveness, why not paint silver and gain some better lighting than black.

CivicStudEx 03-10-2005 01:46 PM
that looks good, I might PM you for more info. I just smoked my taillights and they look pretty strong. Was thinking about doing the headlights. Looks great though.

jeffsta17 03-10-2005 06:40 PM
Hey man that looks good. Awesome job.
Also, Anyone got the link to the DIY for how to do this. I plan on doing it this weekend but I am not sure of what kind of paint to use and how to do it.

civic21 03-10-2005 06:59 PM
very nice, looks real good

AlienX 03-10-2005 07:13 PM
you know what...
Thats hot. I really like it. Not too much of the silver in the parking light. Maybe someone needs to bondo the parking light !!?!?! now thats an idea

Yoyoio 03-10-2005 08:06 PM
when you mask the headlight.. will the chrome come off?

kasimmmmm 03-10-2005 08:22 PM

02civic_rida 03-10-2005 09:30 PM
