damn that's nice! i always thought everytime i saw your car before, it needed to be dropped. looks great.

Lowered on H&R sports with KYB GR-2's -- ride quality is great.

WOW....that looks sooo nice. Have you seen the headlight paintjob on a red car? You are inspiring me but I would like to see it in red before I do it.

Chad

plain and simple, looks great!

Thanks guys!! Looks good... Opinions on wether or not I should paint my lights or just leave them stock.

The rest of my exterior is stock so I am all up in the air about it.



Chad

wow.

That's IT. I'm painting my headlites red now. That looks killer.

Well I decided to do mine tonight ... here are the pics.....I will probably end up repainting them because the paint I got did't quite match. Really close though. Just in certain light it looks more orange than the factory red.

Oh well here they are





Chad

wow they look great!!!! how long did it take you and what method did you use? (oven, hairdryer...). Now i'm thinking of doing that myself. Just lazy to get out the headlights and take them apart....

Took about 2 hours total.....

I used my oven at 250 for 6 min.

- Got the lights out without taking the bumber off.
- Put em in the oven 250 for 6 min.

I did use high temp paint though.

One note though.... As I was puting them back on .... I did the bottom bolt first on one side got it tight and went to pull it out and the socket dropped into never never land. It was the only 10mm socket I could find. So I had to tighten the rest of them with a stinkin wrench. Not fun. I will be getting another socket tomorrow to find the one I lost.

Chad

you said the color was off a little...did you use the ford red duplicolor hight temp paint? thats what i used for my brakes....i wonder if i use silver paint if i would get that "projector light" look.....

Yeah thats the color I used.....I also bought this paint intending to use it on my calipers. Its probably close enough for noone else to notice. In daylight you can't tell a difference but in artificial light it looks a little orange.

Chad

Your ride is awesome! :thumbsup

I guess this is something us black cars don't need to worry about doing though

Yeah I guess the rest of us are just trying to look as good as the stock black cars.....hehehe

Chad

shit.....now I'm thinkin about this too.....I don't think any of us should worry about originality, since most of us live in different states.....thinking I might go blue with mine though.....or would that be too much? so far all this is blue:
side markers
calipers
all Mitsu emblems
foglight housings
interior lights
headlights
reverse lights
license plate lights

Yeah....I might be a little nuts.....thinking ocassionally about blue grafics too........Argghhhh!!!!! I always over do things....someone slap me!!!

cyan painted his blue A WHILE ago. i think he was the first person i ever saw with his headlights painted. here is the pic:

Man Ryan, that looks very nice! You got a sweet ride there...:thumbsup

Anyone know where I can get the A52 Mitsu paint in Ohio? Other the nSATAN?

looks great man kinda like real expensive projectors
just an opinion you should get the plaque down on the air opening

It will soon be replaced by mesh, or an intercooler.

Ryan, what paint did you use? I love how that looks, especially on silver cars (or maybe i'm just biased having silver too, lol).

I've got the exact color code of my car (A52 Silver) in a spray paint can. I have a place here than can mix automotive paint and put it in a spray paint can form. If anyone wants some that is the exact code of your car. Just e-mail me with your color code and we can work something out.

How did you guys remove your headlights? Where are the bolts located?

There is the bolt on top obviously. Two bolts on the back pointing forward. They are near the fenders.

And the tricky one is the one underneath the light housing. Once you get the others out just lift up on the light a bit and you can get a socket and extention on the bolt between the bumber and the light. Thats all of them.

Good Luck!!
