I applied about four coats of paint. First, I used a metallic gray body shop paint (Plasti-kote) for a base. Then I applied a enamel Black, then a clear spary coat, then another layer of the black. I had to go to Pep Boys (god dammit, I know it was a last resort) to get the Plasti-Kote paint. Just a reminder to all-you can NEVER have too much spray paint. I actually finished one headlight in Duplicolor metallic Gray, but then ran out and I couldn't find another can, so I switched to PlastiKote. Always buy at least TWO cans of paint per color. ALSO!!!!Remember to reseal the headlights, that way you don't get any condensation. I sealed mine, and even after a heavy rain and high humidity-no condensation.

I'll have better pics up later, but now I gots to work. :D

Nice. I saw a blue Si when I was cruising down to Chi the week end of HIN just wondering if that was you coming out of Gurnee?

Well it was just that I blew past the guy and had this 00 Si following me for awhile the 03 Si got kinda left in the pack but I was wondering if it was somebody on here.

I've seen some people gettin the side blinkers done too. Is it the same way as getting the headlights done?

I want to see someone body color match the headlights! I'm not sure if that's a great idea, or bad idea.
