i was just curious if anyone found anything about headlight and taillight covers yet. i tries doing the whole tinting thing... yea, i suck.

i tried searching all over the internet... i cant find anything.

also, i am sur this has been answered and i looked and read all over here, but, how is everyone changing that chrome molding around the upper front grill? i want mine black. i was looking at it last night real quick, i didnt see how it comes off. is it glue like most moldings?

thanks :gunsmilie:

Most people paint over the chrome. There's a couple screws that hold the grill down. I don't mind the chrome, so I haven't looked into it really.

As far as I know, there are no aftermarket headlight or tail light housings. The closest thing you can get is the Evo X head light housing w/projectors (which would be sick).

Wait until the Ralliart comes out, they have the euro/Altezza tail lights. They look pretty good too.

there are no covers made for our cars yet.

The chrome piece is very easy to get off the car. pop the hood, pop off the cover. and undo the screws

In all honesty, anything that sticks to the car. Most people will use sprays because it allows for an even coat and is much easier to handle than a brush and bucket. Plus if the paint starts chipping (like from rocksand other flying debris), it's easy to touch up.

It's not like painting the engine cover or your calipers where you would need a special paint that's heat resistant or has a powerful bonding agent. Any regular ol' spray should suffice.
