I PM-D kshawn like a month ago, he was really cool and got back to me really fast. Unfortunately i can't say the same about the guy who did his headlight work. I e mailed him serioiusly 4 weeks ago and i never heard back from him. He does do quality work very nice, but i couldn;t get a hold of him

If you are the daring type there is a very detailed DIY on the forums, but probably is not the easiest thing in the world to do with $$$$$ headlights

I met someone from this board at a meet from NJ who clears headlights.....he has his own website too. Good prices, excellent guaranteed work. Can't think of who it was offhand, he has some catchy nickname...

DIY.
put it on the oven and rip them off.
It's not that hard than you think.
I did it on my Accord. Just have some tools beforehand and do it.
Try it.

CL platano I met you once. I was at an acura meet under the GWB. I had a gold maxima at the time. I was there because my brother has an 04 TL. Email me your SN, a bunch of you guys live near me since I am only 5 min away from edgewater.

grkmaximus@aol.com

BTW I want to black out my headlights.

You are gonna want to black them out. I left mine clear for a few months and really didn't like how it looked. At first I was stoked at how they turned out but it just didn't seem like it was the best possible look. I blacked them out and am much happier with the turnout.

I wanted to color match what I was painting but didn't organize the timing of everything so just used the regular gloss paint.

Here are the pics so you don't have to dig them up from the other threads

Cleared:


Blacked:

(sun kind of sucks in the above)

If you can devote an evening (about 4 or 5 hours) you can get it done.

Any suggestions on where I can get spray paint to match my car? the auto parts stores cannot get it, and the dealer only has little bottles for touch-up. Anthracite is not exactly a common import paint color I am finding.

-When i clear the lights I want to paint them to match.
