Interior/Exterior Removing headlight trim rings...?
#2
Hey Lotoole, I actually just removed my headlights from my 04' last night. Patience is a vertue. Pretty tricky to remove. I masked off the headlight because the removal of the chrome surround looked difficult and as well didn't want to break anything. after all the sanding and prepwork I sprayed two coats of flat black to the headlight surrounds (still drying) and it looks awsome. I chose the flat black to match with the aero grills. Let me know what color your interested in painting your trim in, or shoot me a PM. Hopefully I can give you some pointers. Good Luck.

Lagston - I want to remove the trim rings because I'm looking to match the matte of the aero grilles as well. I was thinking painting, or perhaps wrapping them in vinyl, which might hold up better and is a little less permanent should I change my mind.
drdrumanbass - do the rings come off the car with the headlights in place, or does the whole unit need removal?
