Baby Boy, did you buy the black headlight housings, or do it yourself? I'm gonna do mine soon, just wanted to know how hard it was, and what kind of paint you used if you did it yourself!

it was easy
it was easy cornflake i got the directions from a thread around here somewere and i put about 2-3 coats of glossy black paint. there isnt a better feeling than knowing you did a project on your car and it came out right.

For real, I do most of the work on my car msyelf when I can, but it's the customization stuff that makes you feel really good. Had the same feeling when I did the mesh grill on my ride. I will definately be looking up that post and trying it before next spring!

I personally don't care too much for them, and if you look at the TL in the pic, the slats are not even the right lengths, or someone just didn't put them on right, cause they don't line up properly, esp. at the bottom of the grill! But hey, to each his own. If you like them by all means put 'em on! It's all about personalization!!

I had to cut out all the "fins" in the grill with a dremel tool leaving the part where the A thing fits in but taking the "fins" around it down so there is just a plate left. Then i got some really tight weeve alum mesh from homedepot and used the screw holders as a way to fit the mesh making holes etc. Then once i got the fitting right i painted it black with a rust proof spray paint. and then put the typeS on there with some really small screws and thats it. Basically just cutting the fins out and putting the mesh flat between the chrome thing and the plastic grill. The grill I have is NON-REVERSABLE!!!!!! So do it at your own risk.
Thanks
Thanks

I know what you are talking about. I can't seem to find it but it's on eBay most of the time...
