How can I get my headlights and corners to look like this?



Is this how they are supposed to look like new? Or are the insides repainted black?

Hmm, I'm not sure.

I'd say the insides are probably painted black, but the grill looks to be tinted...

That is hot! If someone can figure out how, I want to get it done to mine.

Those are JDM corners (no orange reflector) and JDM headlights. The grille, I think is either slightly tinted or just has a dark look because of the angle.

The JDM headlights are the same as ours. I think all of the affects are just the angle and shadows. Maybe not.

trust me, those arent blacked out. every speck of chrome is still there

I think most of the effect is jsut odd lighting, and ld camera...whatever. but yes, those appear to be NEW lenses

I like how he did the side markers in the fender...

is it jsut me, or doesn every non three tone jdm svx also seem to have a silver roof and trunk? Must be a popular look over there

Edit....Anyone else see 5 silver svxi?

Something something clear front signals?

Mychailo picked mine up for me on his last trip overseas. Find out when he's going again, and NEVER buy from Vineland, NJ when pictured on a pallet!

Does any body have any ideas to make it look like that from all angles? It it even possible to tint that or take it apart and paint it? I'll do anything for that look.

Surely, it can be done with a clear lens kit, some paint, and advice that's all over NASIOC.
