i DIY'ed with my friends. Being a poor student, I didn't want to spend money to get a shop to do it for me.

I think if I get to choose again, I would buy a set of used blacked out headlights. That would save some frustration and time, given that the price isn’t too $$. I have a feeling buying the a-spec lights from dealer would be pretty costly.

afterall, this is supposed to be a cheap mod!

hmm..I don’t know if you can buy them new from a dealer. You can buy used ones from people who have a-spec TL’s? But I doubt that these people will sell them..lol..

I might have to go with blacked out grill then. The gold in the front really stands out and makes the car look "Granny'ish"

You don't have to remove the whole front bumper to get the bottom grill off do ya? That would be a pain.

you should buy from craigs list put a wanted ad or search other areas insted of just yours. i would spray paint from a can if i painted it black

If you know how to seal it right then it would be ok.
