I had been wanting to do this for a long time, I havent seen anyone blackhouse the USDM headlights-though I might be very wrong lol. I blackhoused the turn signal piece aswell, so not everybody will prob like it but Im content . Some pics are below, im posting from my phone, sorry.

Not bad. IMO it gives the frontend a more modern look. Nice job.

Hmm. I don't know if I like it or not, hey but if you like it then
BTW, did you also plastidip the chrome trim lol

Looks pretty good! Did you plastidip the grille?

He plasti-dipped the grill, all the chrome bumper guards and side guards. Interesting.

Did it make your headlights dimmer at all from what you can tell since there is less lighting surface to reflect off of?

Wow, looks good! Makes the amber turn signal a lot less unsightly.

Interested in this as well. I would like to do this but not if it's going to reduce output. I dont think it would though because all of the blacked stuff is facing away from the reflectors anyway.

Thanks on the feedback guys, actually all of the chrome trim (excluding windows) has been sanded down and painted with bumper trim enamel, its holding up well. As for the light output I havent noticed any difference and honestly I wasnt expecting it to change at all, because I didnt paint the parts (reflectors) at where the light hits only the outer plastic cover that surrounds the headlight inside. I did however paint the reflector of the sidemarker/ turn signal area as one member has mentoned to make it stop popping out or as he reffered to it as less unsgihtly. All comments are welcome I figured I would at least try this as not many or any have on stock KA9 headlights.

Nice....wish I lived in Hawaii

I like the black trim a lot, thinking about doing that on mine as well.

That looks absolutely great. It does have a more modern look, I think I might do mine. Good looking ride my man; mods are very tasteful

Hmm Im still on the fence about if I want to black house mine (in a different way) but I like where you going with your car.

Some beastly matte black rims and youll be good to go.

Thanks on the comments guys, I do have some Axis Hiro wheels 19x8.5 front 19X9.5 rear, still debating on what tire size to do in the rear probably a 245/40/19 series tire with some stretch, not a fan of too much stretch.
