Did you black out the projector or just the ring around it?

Looks good but I like the contrast the silver ring has around the projector. Especially on a silver car.

@undying dream, i didnt blacc da actual projector, just the bezel around it, i agree dat silver bezel would of looked nice against the blaccened out housing, but after being fustrated removing the amber piece from the second headlight and snapping the plastic that held the chrome strip, i kinda rushed to paint the 2nd housing and forgot to remove the bezel!! So i ended up having to paint both. Maybe sometime in the future i'd redo it n repaint the bezel bacc silver, seeing that this project wasnt too hard, matter of fact it took me about 5hours from start to finish. If anyones wondering there has been no condensation, there are two huge silica paccs inside the headlights that would absorb any moisture anyways. I washed the car the day after, and it has been raining almost everyday since i've done the headlights n still no fog inside. I didnt have the time to clamp the headlights and let it sit overnight like the diy said because i work 3rd shift n i needed my car bacc on the road.

Me&my TL

bake @200 for 20 min





headlights painted with krylon fusion black gloss paint for plastic. Center grill plastidip'd matte black





As you can tell, im going for a black and silver theme, on the exterior. Kinda strapped on cash, saving up for a home. Thats why so far all the mods i've done are custom painting jobs. Im considering plastidipping the stock rims black, still unsure about that though. But definately plastidipping the roof black soon.

My goal is just trying to set myself apart from all these other TLs here in RI & souther MA. So far the blackened out headlights, taillights, badges and grille. I've done plenty to set myself apart out here.
