I like it! Paint the grill trim black or colormatch 'em as well.... :D Or black trim with colormatched honeycomb ....hmmmm.......

I wonder what the black 03-05 projectors would look like colormatched? :rockon:

the HowTo would probably be appreciated - I tried to open mine up but really couldn't be arsed to dremel 'em especially since they're still mostly new and perfectly sealed - the glue on my housings is pretty stout. I didn't want to have to worry about 'em fogging up or anything so I went with the projectors. :)

Looking closer at your pics - holy crap you did alot of prep work on those buckets! that's a shedload of filling and sanding bro! Niiiiice work! :thumbup:

just got mine today....quick&easy install, but they're aimed waaaaay too low and need adjusting.

Pardon the dirty car; my neighbor's sprinklers like to water my car nightly - I think he wants my Neon to grow up to be a caddilac or something. :P

Old for reference - man that's alotta chrome!

New one - mmmmmm black!

Now, I can totally see these on your car painted instead of black....mmmmmm sexy! :rockon:

I have mixed emotions about em.

But I do plan on one day color matching my projectors.

kickass!

Opi; I immediately thought of your car after seeing Hud's painted - I think if you colormatched the projectors, it would be pretty C6 corvette-ish - definitely be a dramatic difference with a bright color like solar yellow. I think the eblue would be alot more subtle but look pretty dam cool.
