Painted Headlights on Vibrant Red G37 Coupe

First of all big thanks to Raul for offering me something I couldn't pass up . He got this done quick and easy, and handled my headlights with extreme care. Thanks man, awesome work!

Here's what was done. Headlight housing and turn signal housing were painted Semi Gloss Black. Amber strip was also pained Semi Gloss Black but the rectangle where the amber light turns on was left alone. I think that looks great while keeping legality. Finally, the projector shroud was painted Gunmetal to match my wheels.

So here are the pictures. Please excuse the dust and grime particles on my headlights. I need to get a good clay and cleaning on them one day, along with the rest of my car. Front lip is also in need of repainting due to chipping. Or I may just go a different style soon.

Before:



After:















Sorry there's no full body shots, I'll get those tomorrow as I put on my spacers. And I'll try to get some shots with less glare if possible!

Update: More pictures, they aren't the greatest shots =(

I mean they look ok I guess... Never was a fan of Rauls work though..... Its way too clean and well done. It needs a scratch or something.

Yep it's plastidipped. I did it almost 2 years ago, its been holding up quite well. Though I'll probably have it painted for real later on though.

The hls look great my man! I love those wheels also! Do you guys out in Cali have a law that the signals have to flash amber? Just curious because I want to say that I have had a few of my cars with all smoked out signals here in Illinois.
