k, the whole painting the inside of headlights thing? colormatched???

[nikon]

well, just thinkin about wondering if it would look tacky or not instead of painting the inside of the maro' headlights black, what about colormatching em, kinda thinkin on corvette lines here, whatcha think anyone seen it, if so pics? and black car with black paint doesnt count [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Color part and leave parts of it chrome... yeah, that would probably look great, or at least a complimenting color. You might want to see if there's a completely clear housing you can get... with none of that reflecting crap, whatever it's called, so that it's clear as glass.

I'd love to see that done if someone could do a good job on it...Definately post pics if you do it...and if anyone has pics, POST EM!! [img]graemlins/popcorn.gif[/img]

was kinda hoping someone had done it already, I dont feel like being a guinee(sp?) pig for something Im not sure about.

i'd be the guinea pig for this if i only knew what to do and how to make the housing lol.

find some headlights at a junkyard and try it on them.

honestly i think that would look pretty cool in red on ur car!!

[teal99camaro]

if you dont like it, spray it black over it.

I either like them stock, or painted black. When they are painted the color of the car they blend in too much and the front end loses some sharpness. Vettes are a bit different, the front end on those things is so badass that the headlights don't get swallowed up.

i think you could go either way and it would look just fine. if you did it i dont think it would look bad, i just dont think it would look any better, the chrome around those lights works on your car. it complements the grill and wheels. not to mention your blingy fuel door.

im with him. look at the 93-97, did you ever see the part around the headlight painted body color? doesnt look that great, takes away the mean look.

yes it does, I tried myself but am no good with photoshop, I guess loochy is right that all the chrome I have the headlight's do kinda flow but different is always nice, im sure you know what I mean...and ya I know Ive seen the 93-97's colormatched, some people like it others hate it depending on the color it looks ok, but ya black does look the best I just dont know If I want to add something sleek to the front end, for everything I have now is very noticeable and "vivid" I guess? if headlights werent 90$ a pop even on ebay I'd pick some up and try it but oh well,

great now the more I look at it I think it might blend in well with the billet grill due to the bars being painted black and only the leading edge polished, but at the same time I think the reason I dont think it will go is because of too many colors, white/black/red???? Im at a loss, I wanna do it but UGH!!! [img]graemlins/rant.gif[/img]
