If anyone is interested on how to do it. Here it is. I'm not going to delay it any longer. I'm just going to tell you how to do it:









Keeping everyone in suspense


I had a bodyshop do it for $25 in Fort Worth, Texas. He just thinned out some black paint, sprayed it on, then clear coated it. If anyone is local, they can come and see mine in person. It DOES NOT hinder any of the normal lighting functions but reflectors are not that visible.

Malu59RT,

I like the look of the lenses. Have you noticed any scratches on your painted lenses yet? I figure that the black will show a lot of them after a few washes.

Mr Forgettable: I replied earlier, but I guess it didn't post. The tailpipes were stolen, so I got a new set. The newest photo at the bottom shows the new tips. No more crappy exhaust pipe showing in the back

Joe_s2k: Since I had the bodyshop clearcoat over the paint, there is nothing that couldn't be buffed out, but I really don't notice any scratches. It looks glossy, and blends into the paint very well (until I switch to a complete blue exterior). To answer your question though, no scratches.
