Wow! 
Getting there!I was reading through is now waiting for the bad news and LOL'd when I got to the bad news. That sucks, glad you got new bezels! Let see this installed
Kiapartsnow - and not that expensive at less than $20 each plus shipping.If you don't mind telling us, where did you end up finding the bezels?
They make some really good paint, especially matching pearl whitesGetting there!
Gotta say the color match to SWP is dead on. I got two stage paint from automotivetouchup, and when the basecoat went on I thought, hmm, seems a little light. Then the pearl midcoat, and wow - dead match right down to the pearl effect. Ended up doing the outside foglight bezels as well.

This was probably the nicest paint job I've ever done, and then, of course, disaster. A moth lands on my drying paint. :cry

Zoomed in here, you can see some of the aftermath. I tried to fix it best I could with some light sanding and re-spray, but decided this was good enough. The perils of painting in an open garage at night.

Hopefully can install this weekend!
Couldn't agree more. Minus my moth incident, this is the nicest paint job I've done. I'm blown away how well the paint went on, so smooth and glass like. You'd be hard pressed to tell it was done with a rattle can. Their clear coat went on just as smooth. I'm definitely a fan.They make some really good paint, especially matching pearl whites
How many coats did you use?
Nice! I've got a lot of pics of the headlight torn down if you want it. Do you currently have the halogen projectors, HID, or HID with adaptive lighting (projector turns with steering wheel) currently?Brilliant write-up as always.
You're always ahead in terms of modification.
Thanks for sharing!
*Speaking of lighting, I will do a comparison of lighting before and after retrofitting a bi-xenon projector in case I decided to do it.
Thanks Yooshaw. I'm getting those retrofitted by a professional since I have zero experience with this type of modification.Nice! I've got a lot of pics of the headlight torn down if you want it.

The idea came out great but I agree, too much white. I think a gloss black would look amazing! Chrome maybe but I've never been a fan of chromeGot them installed:

Honestly I'm not crazy about them. Something's off and I can't put my finger on it. Thinking maybe it's too much white. Maybe if I paint the chrome trim black. Or, maybe the lower grill white?
I'd welcome any thoughts/opinions. My next project is to open up the headlights again and paint the shrouds and "barrels" white, and add some halos to each.
