Color matched headlights? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Bacon · 08-01-2007, 09:15 PM

So a good friend of mine MrZipps (www.mrzipps.com) clears/ paints and customizes headlights. He offered to paint a set of headlights for me since he has never done a set of sentra headlights. I already have the stock blacked out Spec headlights that came on the car, but we were tossing around the idea of color matching the headlight to the car... Ill post a pic of the car and you guys tell me what you think.. Yes or no...

I posted two pics to show what they look like black and to ask if in your opinion they would look good color matched to the car.

CHAOS · 08-01-2007, 09:27 PM

Mr. Zipps does AMAZING work from what i've seen in the past, but I personally wouldn't color match the lights on a silver car.

dude if i was you i'd buy a set of cheaper headlights that came on a lesser model and color match those headlights. then if they look dumb, switch your black ones back. you could always sell them to someone else who likes the look of them afterwards then. don't ruin a perfectly good set of black ones.
