Request: Asphalt FR-S / Blacked Out HLs w/ Chrome Projector Shroud and Reflector
 

I've been trying to find examples of an Asphalt FR-S with blacked out headlights. I'm getting my TRS kit soon and I want to decide what to do with the headlight while it's open.

1. Fully blacked out - Seen this
2. Blacked out with halogen reflector still chrome - Seen this
3. Blacked out with halogen reflector and projector shroud still chrome - Can't find example

This in an Asphalt car:

I've also looked at Raven examples, but I don't want to go by that.

Help would be appreciated!

:bump:

any help!??

No sir. Still waiting for a good example of this! Closest thing I found, but I find it to be too dark:

Just photoshop it...shouldn't be difficult. If you don't have photoshop, download GIMP (it's free)

I have a little bit of photoshop skill, but photoshopping chrome is a bitch and a half.

Well, just to get an idea...the housing is already chrome, so just select the parts you want black and desaturate, or use a black paint fill and dial back the opacity a bit to make that layer transparent.

I'll give it a try tonight, probably.

I want to see the outcome of darkening out the chrome on an asphalt. I wanted to do it but don't want the too dark look

I blacked all of it excep the the DRLs and I couldn't be happier. Looks mean.

Pics!!??

Have you done your tails lights if so let me get a pic of the back

Your car looks awesome

Yes I have the tails done as well. They have a light think on the lense, and the chrome on the inside is blacked out.
I'll put some pics up tomorrow, haven't taken any actually.
Also, thanks for the compliment. Hopefully I can lower it and add wheels soon.

Thanks I got my raven frs a week ago and I can't wait to black it out looking forward to those pics

To the op sorry :threadjacked:

did mine over thanksgiving weekend I will get a full picture of the car later today but here is what they look like.

Took these with my iPhone, so they might look crappy.

Looks awesome bro did you use a Dremel or soldering iron to open them up

Oooh, is there any chance you could get a better pic of that? I might do something like that instead.

Yea I will try to get better pictures tomorrow I will take them from my digital camera than on my phone camera. I used metallic grey for the spray and it looks great for asphalt owners if they spray their headlights

@oso_25

I think this looks awesome. I'm opening up my headlights this weekend and want to decide what I'll do with them. If you could take that picture sometime this week that would be appreciated. I think the choices you made about what areas to black out beautifully contrast the headlight and the rest of the car's color.

Mine are blacked out on asphalt, you can check my profile for the pix

Your profile only has pics of your car before you blacked out your headlights. Thanks though!

haha my new ones must not have uploaded.. i'll get right on that :)

Thanks!

Update, I've uploaded the pix successfully, including the new perrin shift knob I put in today! Let me know what you think!

@Batman

Thanks for the update! Looking at your pictures has made me pretty sure that I want to leave some chrome on the outer side of the headlight. The question is, do I leave the projector shroud chrome, or the sweeping lip on the side...
@oso_25 I'm leaning towards your blacked out design!

Tried my hand at photoshop and I think this is what I want:

Looks good that's the same thing i did to my headlights tried to get you a better picture of mine but the pictures keep on coming out crappy. I am thinking about baking them again and fix a few things but if you want I seen someone vinly wrap the headlights black and they look great.

@raul have you seen this one?

I know you want Asphalt, not Raven, but I think those look really nice.

Yeah, there's a few ravens I looked at, and frankly that's probably the best looking one I've seen. Chrome halos look pretty damn good, but I think I'm sticking with that oso_25 did.

the third option was done months ago. by me

@Vonsamhain

That's not the same. I did mine though. Excuse the brake dust on the wheels and the lack of side marker. I put everything together and had to snap pics before sunset.

That's sick! Doing mine next weekend! How did u leave the side Crome?

Masked it with painter's tape before I sprayed :)

Thanks a ton for this! would love to see on Firestorm. I want to mine just like this, but with an LED strip on the curve (see @doggy s build thread, guys an artist.) And instead of completely black, going to like dark gray chrome type deal. Is that what you guys are using? Might have missed it.

I used semi-gloss black. A glossy black would look too dark for my taste. Since the semi-gloss has a very broad and soft reflection, it looks dark grey-ish. Here's a picture a few months later that shows the headlights a bit better.

Nice. You did a good job man. Thanks I really wanted to see how this would look. While I still think I'll go to BRZ lights and LED DRLs where the current turn signals are, this is really sweet
