My Custom Headlights (180 Customs)

SPOHN · 02-11-2011, 08:10 PM

Well after a couple of weeks, I got my headlights back. I absolutely love them. I'd like to think I'm the first with Gun Metallic headlights, but you never know for sure. I'd like to thank Alex and everyone there at 180 customs. This is one of the best mods that can be done to the exterior. The chrome housing IMO is fugly. This really set my ride off being GM and giving it that darker tone I'm looking for. I did a matte black housing and the projectors covers are GM along with the amber reflector also being painted GM

On a side note sorry if the pics are just ok. It's really hard to take pics of headlights I found. There's always a glare. Plus I just have a basic camera. But please enjoy. Also stay tuned later (maybe tomorrow or next day) I put some teaser pics of what I worked on all day today. Still have alot more to finish up on.

And the finally. This is just the rear for know.

Damn, looks good bro. I'm going to have them do the same thing to my headlights, what did you tell them, "just paint it gun metal"?

I specified. In which they'll ask you anyways. Matte black housing, painted projector housing, painted flasher projector, and painted amber reflector. The color is gun metallic. Paint code is KAD.

How come it looks silver, gun metallic should be darker, right?

SPOHN · 02-11-2011, 08:31 PM

Its just the lighting. In person it's identical to the car. The lower pics also was taken with the flash, for it was at night. I also believe the glare from the lens plays games with it.

Yea I thought of that after the fact. Haven't had a good chance. Been so busy lately with other things. Just been doing some quick shots.

Thanks for the props everyone.

Looks good! My headlights are being painted quartz gray like my 40th anniversary color. Mine is similar to what you've done, but a little different...
