Oh sorry I thought you meant the S. I dont actually know the name of the color, it had a number in the house of color paint book. I was looking for an almost midnight blue with a light metallic flake. It was pretty nice.

thanks man.
i have some headlights opened up right now doing my retrofit, but i'm at a sort of an impasse.. i fucked up part of the chrome bowl inside one headlight, which i had wanted to leave chrome... so i don't know what to do about that..
and i'm having a really hard time finding some sort of shroud for the wide part of the tsx projector.
i had some custom made shrouds all ready, and when the time came to stick em in there, i realized they are just barely too small and would also have to be painted, and I didn't want to paint them black...
so i'm stuck right now..
it's looking like i may have to black out the reflector bowl, but i hope it doesn't come to that
i've been back and forth on the blackhousings... we'll see how it all ends up

so i've got part of my problem figured out.
now all i need to find is something that is smooth, somewhat sturdy, bendable, and can be cut. i had something i thought i might use, but it's not quite sturdy enough. i may be able to reinforce it, but i'd rather find something i feel more confident about.
any ideas of material or objects?
i still have a few rolling around in my head i might try out.
if i can get this figured out soon, expect my retro to be done by the end of next week
