SupraStar 3000 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Anyone refurbished their headlights and painted the chrome rings white? Thinking of doing mine like that and could do with some pics thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I think Havard has had something similar:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I thought about it so am interested to see how this looks too. Mine are all black at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 You might be in danger of going too far with the white thing here dude... I think you need a lot of photo shop time before you do this I'm erring on the side of it will look good, but I would check first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I don't think I've seen any headlights refurbed which are an improvement over the stock facelift look, dark inners/chrome rings. If I get mine done I'd rather just get the ring re-chromed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 who can re-chrome the ring though? its plastic Pretty sure I've seen places (esp looking through classic car & bike mags) that can apply a chroming to plastic bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraspanner Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I have done the same kind of thing with mine to match the car and the red ring on the wheels. I think it looks great and is something different. I still have a set of headlight inserts with the backs painted black and the chrome rings and have to agree with others that this also looks really good.

j_jza80 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Have you thought about doing the rings in either satin or gloss silver rather than chrome? Would look a bit more subtle and would probably be a better finish than imitation chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I know it's not keeping with the US style that you're aiming for Ed, but I always thought that UK headlights suited a white Supra. Any other colour and I'd have said facelift are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
