03 Accord ~Gunmetal headlights~ (SLICK)
Hey Everyone, just picked up this 03 beauty. Its 3 months old, time to start taking it apart and changing stuff. Blacked out Headlights are cool, but EVERYWHERE. Had to get creative and pick up some Gunmetal Paint at the local paint store.
Bumper is no biggy, it was off in 10 minutes. About 30 pop pins and a few hex bolts.
Same story on the headlights. But you do have to take off the bumper to take the lights off.
Metallic paint gives you enough gloss to reflect the blinker and ambers without looking dumb.
I decided to keep the amber reflect because the contrast with my car rocks.
Takes about 15 minutes to seperate the housings and 10 to seal them again with apox.
5 hours later, allowing time for paint to dry. Worth every second!!
Total cost, 6.50 worth of paint. Looks from every 03 coupe owner on the road. Priceless.
H.I.D. Kit comes on friday. Rear Debadge pics coming soon. Let me know what you think.
Dont Copy. Create.

Looks really nice, and good job on the DIY. I think it would look better with all clear on that color car though, personally.
If your daring, work on a new grill for that thing.
Is it a coupe?
