its legit, I'm part of G35NYC and I've thought about getting it done, just a little pricey, $250. But its really unique so many I'll get it done. What do you guys think? Should I get it done either body color match with a green circle around the projector or gloss black with green around the projector. Any ideas let me know

Agreed, put a little contrast into your car...but without green.

Then it will be pointless for me to do it, because I already have layovers

Here is a front end pic if anyone can photoshop it:

Here ya go. Some options to look at, nothing I don't think I would recommend except for the chrome-ish look or the darker green one. I just kinda played around to get a couple colors, wasn't trying for anything really.

The darker green is full of win IMHO

The matching body color would look so sick in obsidian black.

I would definitely agree with a matching body color in CYO44's case, but some contrast will be good. And I know I said no green earlier, but the darker green that I came up with looks good, I can't really place it, but I guess it looks amphibious or something...that's the best I've got. That flat black might look really good on a red one.

I like the gloss black with green projectors. I might try to do it myself to save some cash.

How does the process go for baking headlights?

I like that last one, with the silver and black. I'd love to have it done, but would rather do it myself, much more fun. What kind of paint would you have to use? Color match touch-up style paint or something special?

I saw a thread awhile ago somewhere where a guy with a BS 2G sedan had his headlights color matched, looked REALLLLLY good with a matte black grill. That firedawg guy has his headlights blacked out with a red ring around the projector, is that what you are planning on doing?

I'd use high temp engine paint. You can buy gloss black and there are lots of color choices

Nice,

I love it. Body match color with a little ring around is sexy.
