Painted Stock Afterthoghts
Removed fog light covers,and lower front grill,primed and
painted the color of the car. Also removed red reflectors from rear bumper and painted the color of the car. Neither of these no longer look like an afterthought. Looks awesome. Last edited by 12 yaris; 04-29-2012 at 12:02 PM. |

Does look better! Subtle changes but quite effective.

Are those just masked off and painted your headlight eyelids?
They look great!

Yes, They were masked off and painted. I wanted to show what anyone can
do with about $70,planning,and imagination. I think the car looks more agressive.I'm 44 and been restoring vechicles since I was about 12. I remember when high quaility paint materials were cheap.Hell I remember when everything was cheap. |

Hey I have you beat by about 4 years!
I've been thinking about painted eyelids and yours look great. I painted the front and rear emblems body color and also the rear trunk garnish [sedan] myself.
