I was actually thinking about doing this to my MBP as well. I already have the spray can and everything, just have to get the balls to open them up. I was thinking get the blacked out headlights on eBay (if they ever start to show up again) and use the MBP to do some interior pieces.

i don't think that looks tooo good. not the photoshop, but the overall appearance of the car/headlights is not so good. since you have a dark colored car to begin with, doing that would make it look like you have three piece headlights. maybe it's just me but it looks like if you painted them, i think it would make your car virtually have "6 headlights", to people who don't know anything about headlights.

mikey -- post some bigger pics of your car and it'll be easier to chop

On fixing up your headlights before you clear them.


I say go for it as well. I need someone to do it before me so I can see how it looks.

mikey, I misread - I thought the silver car posted first was yours, thats why I asked that question about the grill. Infact it is subtledreamer's TL (if I read correctly)
