and of course thanks to the dude who posted the how-to for baking headlights right
 
ok im lost now. you are thanking for someone baking headlights but it seems as though u painted the outside...clarify me wouuld ya. :)
 
Can you get a better angle shot from a little farther away? It looks pretty good, but it's a little hard to tell from the last two pics you posted.
 
the rest of the end result shots. taken on a phone cam sorry about the fuzz factor

not bad...so is that painted from the inside or out? i want to do some altezzas in black...
 
i think this is pretty much what corksport is talking about with the paintable kit. I tried it for myself.
 
hmmm im iffy bout that i dont know i mean yea it looks good but like the other guy said dont know if its my style

what did u use to cut so the circles were so perfect exacto knife?
 
hey thanks! i used a Husky board cutter. they're like 10 bux at the home depot.

for those interested in trying this, i sanded lightly with 800 grit sandpaper.
 
Im not a fan of altezzas, but you did a nice job... I wonder if anyone has done that to the front housing? I want to see what that looks like. Care to try it out? :)
 
interesting idea... i just need a bigger motivation... when I find the SMIC i want then i'll try it.
