Default Painting the headlights

Alright, I thought about this many times, basically when I saw the 01 rx come out with the lights all shiny. I have the 00' rx with the black around the lights. I was thinking if it were possible to paint the black part white, I mean matching paint that is professionally done. So it will kind of look like the ferrari 355 spider. Tell me what you think.

I with ya, I've had the same thought. I left it at a thought though b/c I didn't want to bother breaking the seal of the headlight housings. You would have to deal with moisture problems later on down the road.

Maybe you could get some '99-'00 headlights off ebay for cheap. I know I have seen some on there. Then you can experiment
