Default Front Reflector

Sup Guys


I have a White IS350 and i wanted some suggestions on how to cover that reflector on the front lights except for putting a black vinyl on it. If anyone has done anything other then a vinyl please let me know or tell me any suggestions. Also if their is a viynl that matches the Pearl White of the IS please let me know, all your help is greatly appreciated.

well, i have heard that you can take your headlights off the car, put them in an oven at a low temp (180° maybe?). what happens is the adhesive between the lens and the chrome plated light housing separates. you can do whatever you want to that chrome plated housing. paint, anodize gold plate, black chrome, etc.

i am considering it once i get my emblems back from black zinc plating and clearcoating.

best of luck.

on an embarrasing note, i tried getting some vinyl window tint to put over the fog light lenses. bad idea. don't even bother with any type of vinyl on the front. if you have a single rock chip or bug spackle dot on the lens, it simply comes out looking bad.
