Default Did mine a while ago...just a case of swapping the housings and the lenses

Of course pullling the nose is never a 5 minute job...cause once you get in there theres always other things you can address BTDT...

Default yea this is the 2nd time around

some chick backed into me and broke a headlight, grill and bumper. and i didnt like the way the paint held anyways when i first did the headlights. so i decided to get the housings prof. sprayed and redo both sides. shiny black paint shows always dirt. trying to keep fingerprints off it lol

Default looks like you need new tires! thought you got some when you refinished the LMs.

the front one looks practically bald.

Default I hit it with some "Fusion" satin black paint

<center><img src="http://images18.fotki.com/v24/fileVnwj/1976d/6/66370/266845/IMG_0024.jpg"></center><p>Its a paint that stics to plastic real well..according to the blurb

Matches the OEM finish on the OEM grill...reason why I did it ;-)

I dont wanna go and install a caractere grill only for it to be painted the color of the car and make the opening look tiny...
My alternative was to fill in the munting holes on the bumper and just Mesh that without the grille surround...much like I did with the GT2 nose
