Cool blackhoused headlights

ok people, i want to blackhouse my headlights but after seeing Joe's primrose CL with blackhoused healights i noticed that it looked like a raccoon and i didn't really like that (no offence Joe)

i was thinking of doing a different colour instead of black, like a gunmetal or something not as dark as black but i can't decide on what colour to do

what colour do you guys think would go good with a Primrose CL?



oh and Primrose >*

uhh it looks like a raccon because he painted the corners too! Just dont paint the corners and tape them off. Then It'd look better

are you serious!?! dude, lol, you gotta pay more attention to detail. Honestly, someone has to have a primrose CL with the blackouts painted the "non racconish way" that they can post up to show a comparison

PS: I still think painting them black is the only way to go

forget the wheel gap, look at the front w/o the lip!! I totaly forgot what the front of the CL looks like w/o the front lip... The CL looks soo dinky and fragle w/o the lip! Damn....lol...I didnt realise how much it changes the looks of the car.

As far as lowering goes...Yes i just slammed my bitch, but im back on OEM 16's so it really isnt that big of a difference to me. Im sure once I get rims again, then it'd look better.

hellls no! lol...I mean shit, If i could make a huge profit off of it, but then again, I need the rear lip to complete the "look" im going for. Sorry, that WW lip is mine bitch! hehe

I actually lucked out and drove 3 hrs. north to meet a previous member to snatch his lip, rims, and a few other things at a hella good discount price for buying all his shit.

But i know what you mean about tryin to find the lips. Im still searching for a rear lip and I cant find one either. I just dont think its worth the $3-400....

I guess you are in more touch with your feminin side than i am...LMAO.... Im just playin...

I actually saw my frst primrose the other day. It actually looked pretty nice. It was bone stock though.

I think the thing i like the most about those colors (cyclone blue, primrose.) is that you dont see cars those colors everyday..you get tired of seeing silver,red and black cars. IMHO
