Good. I've seen some ridiculous films and paints on lenses themselves and they don't tend to look very good and can be a serious hazard.

As mentioned they mean the housing and not the lens. not the lens. Thanks for my new signature btw, I was looking for a worthy replacement for my current one.

Well not all black but most parts yes. Im leaving the tail lights stock and amber sidemarks. Well I want to go with an aggresive set of wheels. Still havent decided on exact offsets but I might go with:
f - 20x10 +18-20 offset
r - 20 x 11 + 12-15 offset

Once i get the wheels i will get stance coilovers

Well it's obvious since he elaborated later on. If you said "headlight housing", which is actually what he wanted to paint, it would make more sense and not sound idiotic. The reason I mention it is because I've seen it before and I wouldn't put it past G35 drivers to do so. Your sig is just miscontrued and out of context for a pointless intention. But play on.

I'm not getting into a pissing match with random people I don't know in a thread that's already been jacked haha.

This thread was about this man showing off the job he did with his car. Let's get back to that and let him do what he wants.

everything
Bumper looks good but lose the pink lugs and ghetto weather stripping on the bottom of the bumper. There's a lot less obvious things you can put on there to save it from scraping

Only an **** person would complain about not adding the word ''housing'', it's common knowledge not to paint the headlights. You say you've seen cars with the headlights painted. How many, 1? I've seen thousands of cars at meets and such and have yet to see painted headlights.

It was pointless to mention not to paint the headlights. It was pointless to make this post.
