I had a friend paint them.

Find you a good painter and have him mix black car paint with clear coat then have him spray the lights to the darkness you like. He should know the proper prep needed too. Lights might need to be buffed after paint drys if not sprayed in a paint booth. Should be no more than $150 for all 11 lights.


Thanks everyone else and no I don't bullshit.

Thanks man.....

Here is a link to the High Res pic. Just click the link then you can download the pic from there. Should make for a much much better background pic than the ones posted here.

I so need to learn how to do that.. Are you using that technique (slr or whatever the heck it's called, i forget) that binds the lightest and darkest images together and filtering it through photoshop? How are you getting that effect? does look killer.. I'm about to snap some new pics of the car soon and am trying to get some new techniques down.. I'm not using anything fancy for a camera but it is pretty decent.. Cannon SX110 IS 9 mp

I'm having a hard time telling the color by some of the shading. Is that the 04 Lemans Blue or 02/03 Electron Blue? It looks to me like its Lemans blue but I could be wrong. Sharp looking car.

It takes a really nice camera with a really nice lens... Canon Rebel XSI with a Canon 10-22mm lens with a polarized filter. Then yes you take different exposures then you have to merge them together.
