Blacking out (Head Lights) Update!!!!! Link at Bottom added Peeps
 

Heres is the deal..Ive got some points and Im going to make a sticky on 2004-2005 Blacking out headlights..

Youll all say yadayadayada theres already a sticky..Well the pics dont work for one and it never showed 04-05 lights..

I just got an extra pair :rofl: and ill be blacking my lights this week-end with a full DIY pics and all....

The only info I really need is your honest opinion on what would look the best in terms of paint..

I really want this to look like it came out of Honda Canada like that...I want to drop some lips and jaws to the ground...Hell ill even do them RED if youll think it will look awsome..

Anyways I know I have to get high heat paint but should it be flat or glossy???

I promise a great DIY with great Pics..
Whats the sense in having a DIY if the pics dont work ..its just wasted space to me and to all the others...
Remember its for 04-05 lights....

nice! do it! I don't think there is a sticky for 04-05 headlights!

Nice.....Do glossy paint, that would look dope....

just build the DIY :)

mmm, definitely black mat.

In any black out headlights from any manufactuer, it is black mat.

Matte black.

fat black, use the BBQ grill paint. it works the best.

Matte black.

Flat black and i guess ill need some high temp primer also....eh???? (Canadian accent there)

Anything else that would be kool?? Maybe I can make a hole and add strobes so when im parked at a meet i could flick em on....
hehehehe

That would be a good look for this weekend bcuz i was hoping i could black out my 04 headlights this coming week. Ur the man

no primer is needed, at least i didn't use any. you might want to sand them down a little bit though. if you don't sand them the paint tends to run away from the sharp angles of the chrome peice.

ok so 600 grit or 1000 grit???

i'm not sure, whatever grit that will leave the least amount of scratches.
you probably don't need a rough one though. the crome comes off REALLY easy. some of my chrome pulled off from just painters tape.

i would use glossy paint, thats what i used on mine

pics??

on a silver car i'd go with a matte black or flat black. the BBQ paint works well. i didn't even sand or primer and they came out pretty damn nicely.

sorry viper theses are all the pics i cold find of my headlights

^ Looks good.

:hitit: dam that looks sexy

Beautiful beautiful beautiful....whered u get the cf hood? aah man... beautiful

Glossy and same color as the car!!

you dont need to sand anything. if you want the chrome off just use VIM to wash it off. you should use KRYLON paint, that sticks to anything.

i was told to post pics...

camera sucks :/. but you get the picture. theres so many different ways to paint the 04-05 headlights. ive seen like 5 different styles.

Ok guys everything is apart and ist comming along nicely im putting them in the oven as we speak....

Hope all goes well.....

cool, what color did you use?

ah i like that. im thinking of blacking my head lgihts and getting eyelids.. since im having the bumper painted i may as well have the eyelids done.

trying tof ind a cheaper place to buy them from now heh

i must say , that looks good :_bow: i dont like the new headlights but ur car looks good, gotta give it up :rockon: good luck viper!!!

your car is hot!! :_bow: :hitit:

Hey its kalvin, i like the headlights, and for the first time i really like the way that cf hood looks on your car. I think the cf look is RETARDED on any other car than a black or dark grey like that. It looks great on yours, but ill never understand the look of a red, white, blue or whatever other color car with a black hood. Looks more ghetto than anything else to me. Just my $.02

blacked out is that shit! :tup:

u didnt black em out yet?












me neither
