on my buddies sti was so easy to do is just time consuming the hardest part about our cars is that you have to take off the bumper to remove the head lights. im not sure if to remove the amber or just painted black. Also my buddy painted his flat black and i dont like it flat so i was thinking of doing it glossy black or semi gloss. I'm painting all gtr style inside except you know the reflective parts of the fog light and turn signal and the chrome piece around the projector lense. i'n nervous to do it , But hey someone is going to have to some day.

I would go semi gloss and definitely remove the orange if you are already in there.

WEll Here you go like i promised pics on blacking out my headlights from beginning to the end. i did not put instruction on how to do them cause i used the DIY forum on removing the AMBER. also you will noticed that i did not remove the amber, i painted them together cause i like the way it looks flushed with everything else.

LOTS OF PICS ENJOY!!!
