Lights, Pillars, and Bow Tie. Done!

Head lights and pillars were faded out so spruced them all up. Just have Tint and exhaust left.

Ah nice, that is excatly what I want to do to my headlights. Since I think all the aftermarket headlight options for the Impala stink I wanted to tint eyebrows and the amber reflector just like that. What did you use? I was planning on using the VHT Niteshades and just masking off the area with blue painters tape. I also thought about buying the pre-cut tint film for the headlights and cutting out the area I want tinted. Whatever you did it looks good. I dont want it quite that dark as I want to be able to see a little of the amber reflector.

Looks darker in the pic. I just used vht. They were faded and turning yellow across the top. I just sanded all the factory clear coat off. Then I used pinstripe to lay out my pattern. Then laid my tape out and cut along the pinstripe. Sprayed the vht, peeled the tape off, 3 coats of clear. Wet sanded with 1000 grit, polished with a buffer. Just a temporary fix for me until I can get a new set. Time consuming but a easy weekend project. Post pics when you do yours.

Oh and I find I get a better line using the green tape. FYI.

ok sounds good, thanks for the tips. the stock headlights are actually not that bad looking. what would be great if a company could build stock headlights but have a clear (white) reflector in the corner.
