Default Cleared & PAINTED?

Well I know who can clear them. I'm wondering how much it is to have the insides of the headlights painted to match the body color? Anyone know of local place to do that? Is it a DIY ?

STRONG recommendation...don't do a paint match effort as a DIY. IMO when a person paints the black insert (and that is a GREAT mod btw), it causes all kinds a commotion at meets and people really tend to "take a good look" if you know what I mean. It is something that you'd want to spend the coin to do professionally IMO. I'm curious about this option: Check your local Honda dealer (or even body shops locally)...but see if someone can help you get your hands on some busted S2000 headlamps, etc. You wouldn't be worried about the entire housing, but rather the black inserts initially, right? So if you could get ahold of a broken set (but that had decent/excellent black inserts) salvaged from a wreck/body shop fix, you could use the black inserts as "core" swaps if you will. Take the black inserts and have them pro paint matched (maybe even from the same body shop you find the headlights themselves, ya know?). Then once painted to match you could ship them and your headlights to...to...well, to whoever you "know who can clear them."

Dave, I have to say this board is drowning in corner whores... but you're the only clear-corner whore I know of
