58920, Headlight decision help
Posted by 95_ESi_Person, Oct-02-03 12:42 PM
I'm wondering what people would think of the painted headlights on a red car (w/black roof) I think it looks kinda cool, but then again i better like it because i was messing with photoshop for about an hour to figure it out.

Oh... DR1665, sorry for not asking if i could borrow your headlights to use, but oh well...

There was one guy on here who had a red car and painted the headlights red. That looked awesome and I would recommend you doing that!

:thumbsup

I would have to say I have never a DSM with painted headlights that I thought looked good.

My vote:Stay stock

ok, thanks, i was thinking that it might look cool because my roof is also black....

and it was farmdogg who has a red talon with the red headlights, that was a cool car, but i'm not for red headlights he also had the widemouth talon front (97-98)


if not black, how about a grey color?

Well it kind of depends...what year is your eclipse? If it was 97-99, yeah of course you would leave it stock...but if it was 95-96 I'd recommend spraying it black. I got a red eclipse (with 95-96 headlights) and I thought it looked a lot better with black housings. I followed one of the members postings on doing it...looks great!

was, is, it all means the same, red headlights on the 95-96 bumper will pass, but it looks badass on the 97-98 like you have, it looks so mean, but i have the smiley, so i might either stay stock, or if i get real (REAL) bored, black, maybe a dark grey (it'd have to be shiny though)

LMAO when I read that up there! I only wish I could see your photochop sir! Come to think of it, at midnight PST, none of your pics seem to be working! :(

I'm gonna say go black. Then get your rims PC'd black. Then get some night shades and smoke yuor tail lights. After that, smoke a cigarette. It will look so good it will be like sex.

Red car + black outs on the front and rear + black rims = badass imo. If any of your pics worked right now (could be KM.com related - I'm getting a 404), I would PS some ideas upon it.

I'll see this tomorrow I'm sure! :)

Well, your car was the last thing I touched before I had the final smoke of the day (or was it the first of the next day?). I hope you enjoy...

BEFORE...

AFTER...


I also gave you a "chop drop" sir. ;)

that looks cool as hell, when i get some money i might just try that, powder coated rims would be sweet, but i might have the machined face left alone, not sure though

I'd paint em black. The chrome is always too shiny and out of place on the 95-96 (I had one and painted it). Plus it'll match your roof then. With black rims, it will all look sweet.

BTW..Love the new sig...:thumbsup
