retrofitted headlights?

In the group sponsored link there is a small business that retrofits basically all acura headlights and i was wondering if any of you guys have had it done or plan on it. It seems that the head lights could be blackout for cheaper than buying another set off ebay. The carbon fiber could look sweet, since it may not have been done yet. Just wondering what everyones thoughts were.

There's a local guy here in SF that does it, and one 3rd gen guy that lives nearby cleared the corners and added angel eyes. Heard that they charged an arm and a leg, but their work is pretty good. I had planned a retrofit using projectors from a Fairlady Z, but I've since changed my mind. I have a decent cut-off, but I'm looking at these projectors from Germany... Let's just say they came on a production car in 2002, and they're gorgeous. Bloody expensive, too.

~Cheers~

righteous, Germans make good products. Well the guy on here will black out for under 200 plus shipping (pretty sure don't quote) and i think making it carbon fiber is like 25-50bucks more. There is a picture of the carbon fiber and IMO it looks sick. I have not seen it on our cars and i would love to see it. P.S. Is Sayuri the name for your car or your actual lady? haha

^^ Sayuri is my car's name, named after 国生さゆり, although I use this kanji for my car: 早百合. Originally, it was 小百合 but I decided to change it since she isn't small, hehe.

^ I just like the look of the projector, and I took a pic of a car with them in Japan. He had them as fogs, though. I'll see if I can't find it.
