I dont understand buying them when its SOOO easy a caveman could do it. whats wrong with a nice interfooler and some brake vents. I was gonna get interfoolers to put in my back windows and tell everyone i put a porsche motor in the trunk.

i think these are going to be just for the black CL owners if any. i think they look fine and like i said my headlights were pretty bruk up. so this was the cheapest with the least hassles.

It's called wetsanding.. you should search then post tho.. not afterwards..
Just get some 2000 grid sandpaper, wet it with a water and soap mixture, and sand away. Of course you need some plastic polish afterwards.

now i'm not 100% positive, but i'm pretty sure you can just scrape that off the back of the lens (i haven't tried, but it seems that's all there is to it). then you could paint it whatever color you wanted.

That gray piece was one of the reasons I didn't blackhouse
#79
i still haven't decided if i will blackhouse or not, and if i do, i haven't decided if i will paint that grey part. the grey sort of goes with my primrose, and black there might end up being too much of a black outline for the headlight.
maybe ill experiment with some electrical tape or something.
if i do i'll definitely post pics
