Body Matched Headlights Installed (Pics)

Finally after a long process (I had to take them to a shop to spray the paint I got, my airbrush wasn't strong enough ) I have my Color-Matched Headlights installed, and they look amazing! I suck at posting pics, and don't have time to mess with it this morning, but here they are in my gallery! The first 4 are the installed pics, others are prototyping. Enjoy!

I think the colour match looks better on yellow than black would. I also think it would look good on the Sunburst Orange as well. All other colours would look good in black only IMO!!

I'm with you on that one...I can't see mine being painted silver it just wouldn't look right. I think the black would look sick though...especially if I could match the black of the tint. Looks nice though, definitely different than anything I've seen yet...keep it up.

in my opinion

Thats like the new Corvette---body coloured. Nice but not for me. I wonder if black would look good with a grantie blue car.

The black headlights look sick on a silver Cobalt:

See I thought the Arrival Blue would look good color matched. I don't think black would look good, I don't like blue and black together, it just doesn't look right. I would either leave mine chrome or color match them, I'm kicking around the idea of just getting a set of lights and painting them to see what I think.

Sory it took me so long to reply back to everyone. Had power outage right after posting, didn't come back up til I had already left for work. Anyways, the paint is a urethene stage1, used a hardener, and clear coat. My bodyshop sprayed it on, not MY bodyshop, but the one I use. Cost $50 total after I bought the paint ($13US for a pint) and they used about half of it. I was too excited to get them home and install that I forgot to take the leftover paint w/ me I think think this is byfar the best mod I've done to my car. Black seemed like it would clash on yellow, so now I really have a miny 'vette! heh. I've had quite a few comments while I was out this morning and stopped by Wally-world. Funny thing is, they guys commenting had no idea it wasn't an import til they saw the bowtie. Honda owners from Wayne county crack me up.....

very nice, I was hoping to be the first with the color matched headlights, but your car looks sick with them. I guess I'll try to be the first in sunburst then.
