I am looking to have my headlights painted and resealed and I was looking for ballpark figures on them ? Has anyone had them done and can give me a ball park to be looking into for having a shop do them ? and or recommend a shop to have them done ?

painted like tinted? or like completely useless? A shop generally wont do either as its a liability, unless you know someone in the biz.

I think he means popping them open and painting the internals black. This gets tricky as you are never promised a full 100 OEM seal back. You could end up with water/moisture inside the headlamps down the road.

No idea on costs, but I doubt a body shop will bake your head lights to pop them open.

Yes i am referring to painting the non reflector parts of the headlight that are chrome colored , Id like them matte black like the rest of my car...

I forgot about that thread. Can we get prices on that setup? With / without core charge. That's awesome.

That looks real clean, do you have a pic showing the the entire front of your car? Did Tommy do that for you?

No sir, I did this for another isf owner.

The process is not easy and there is a substantial risk doing it. I have yet to do it to my own isf.

JeremyS

how much did you charge the owner?

Contact Dave at tunedparts.com

He opens heads and repaints them
And reseals them. He does fantastic work as well.

That look actually looks pretty clean. What color is that painted on the inside? Matte/ or satin black? Wonder how it compares to how the 2011 (darker) headlights look. Of course MINUS the LED's inside.

S4, any pics of that car farther away?
