ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    "Greyhousing", anyone?

    i know the typical method is to paint the housing black, but i was wondering how a dark grey, maybe even grey primer might turn out. any thoughts?

    it will still look good

    The JDM RA6 (2nd gen) Odyssey Absolutes had their headlights darken out with a greyish colour, not black. It looks very subtle IMHO.

          The JDM RA6 Absolute didnt have the flat grey, it was more towards a glossy grey.

          Looks very nice

              my 1pcs prior to accident were smoke-ish instead of blackhoused. i think it'll look good depending on what the color of the car is.

              i personally wouldn't paint match the inside of the headlights to the body color. Kinda like how honda jazz/fit headlights to mee.. hahah

                    hahha nothign wrong with that.. just my preference. to me it just seems like the there's almost no contrast between the sheetmetal-to-headlight. i'd rather have a clear or blackhoused fit headlight housing...
