SWP headlight housings blacked out, please post pics if did it!
 
Trying to decide if this is a project to do this winter while my car is parked. Can't locate any good pics of the headlight housings being black on a SWP fr-s or BRZ.

If anyone has done this please post pics I'd love to see what it looks like!

Please no. You are gonna ruin the look. Wait for SEMA, there will be more aftermarket headlights announced soon.

How to determine would ruin look without seeing it? What exactly is coming out at sema, care to share?

I'm planning on doing this soon. I don't think it will ruin the look. And most aftermarket ones with halos and other crazy lights will ruin the look. But everybody is into their own thing who am I to judge if the other guy wants under glows cause they were featured at sema.

OICU812 10-05-2013 01:55 AM

Ok cool please post. I think should look good to but do want to see it. I'm not a huge halo etc fan either.

Two examples in the first post. Prob more in the following pages as people usually post results.

Im doing it to my car as have countless others to not only this car but many cars. Its a nice, cheap mod that really changes the looks for sure.

OICU812 10-05-2013 02:40 AM

Ya seen that thread but seems majority doing it on asphalt or black.

I just blacked out the housings and retrofitted the projectors yesterday. I'll try to get some pictures for you.

Damn....I must have ruined my car ;) I get nothing but compliments on mine. It actually saved me the money I was about to blow on BRZ lights. Total cost was 5 hours or so, and $6 for paint.
