Make sure you have some masking tape on ya Simo. Coz your gonna have to tape up parts because the preface lights are different I think.

Yeah they're a b!tch to do the first time. Don't be scared to really rip into it hard because those headlights are a bit tougher than I thought.

im thinking. if i buy rims with the red outline i might paint the headlights and toyota badges and brakes red....

unless just all black.

but if i go dark gold rims. i wonder if dark gold paint would like nice in the headlight surround too....

guess ill photoshop the headlight surrounds with red and gold!

i still need to decide on my wheels for my stivo though!

yea but i meant. why not colour match the rims with the headlight surround.

eg gold rims. gold headlight surround. it might not look to bad.

Trust me, you wouldn't want to do that. Black is the best colour for any car.. If you had a red car, and you colourcoded the headlight surround in red.. it'll still look pretty silly.

Mind you we redid them in black jay. Looks bit meaner in black than in gunmetal.
