Default post pics of your painted headlights!! :)

not sure if I wanna go ahead and do it.. but definaetly is tempting!

I have a Redline Z with CF Fenders, SideSkirts and a CF Hood to come.. just can't make up my mind on if I want to paint my headlight housing either red / black or maybe even wrapped in CF?!

if ppl can post some pics of their stuff / where they got it done.. i'd appreciate that!

Pics aren't the best, but you get the idea. Headlights painted SB to match car.

Mine are nothing special, but I thought I would contribute as well. The color is flat black.

+1 Looking to get a pair done myself. Plus, how's the turn around time? Do you send out an already finished pair & then have me send mine out when I get it or do I have to actually send you mine to work on?

Please PM details. Looking for gloss black including upper turn signal section w/ smoked sidemarkers.

TIA

There is a 1 year warranty on leaking. I will redo them for free.

I've been modifying headlights for about 4 years and no one has ever come back and complained.

Turn around time is very quick. The day I receive the lights I modify them and mail them out the next business day.

Send me a email Dan@MrZipps.com

How can you not see a difference? Go to my thread and see a before and after pic. Also I work from 0600-1800 and I don't see much daylight except for my day off. So on my next day off I'll take more pics.

No I don't. The problem is that I can send out headlights in excellent condition and then receive one that are severely scratched and pitted. I wouldn't be able to turn around and give them to someone else.

If you would like to purchase an extra set on eBay, another location or purchase a set from me. ( i would have to locate one ) Then when you receive the new headlights you can sell yours.
