Color Match Headlight

Sorry if this has been a repost.
Ive been looking and i seem to find either gunmetal headlights or black outs.

Would like to see if anyone has done a color match ivory pearl headlight.
Want to see if itll look good or bad.

^Can't think of any threads right off hand... but it's been done on a coupe before.
I don't think anyone has on a sedan.

Personally, I don't think it would look right.

The coupes can only pull that off if done EXACTLY right... and that's very rare.
I don't think the shape of the sedan headlights would work with that style no matter how you went about it.

Now that I see it, it's like a 50/50 hate & love thing.
I like the way it looks but then again I don't lol.
I just don't want to do gunmetal or black/flat. I might go with a light gray/silver.

Another question... Will 2003 coupe headlights fit on a sedan? Or are the bumper and fenders different.

it looks tacky, i know a dude with a red coupe that did it and it looks cheap/plasticky.

Leave them stock or paint black.

No coupe headlights will fit a sedan without SERIOUS body work.

This was on my last G.... I thought it looked great, just never had time to get enough pics of it before it was gone... Certain angles it looked a shade off. I think their was just a little too much pearl when the bumper, driver fender and headlights were painted.

That picture is freaking me out. It's like I'm looking at a person with no eyes...

I kinda like the coupe headlights on the sedan, but it does look a little off, and definitely isn't worth the amount of work needed imo.
