That Copper color looks cool. You going to try and match it for the exterior?

No its going to get a respray of the same color. The paint is just really aged and I have some dents and other imperfections I'm going to get repaired as well as new side skirts, trunk lid, and rear valences I'm going to need sprayed. I know if i just get the pieces that aren't the same color and the repaired areas sprayed the color isn't going to match so I opted for a full respray but by staying with the same color I'm saving quite a bit of coin. Ive always loved the color anyway.

$400.00 headlights aren't in the budget. $160.00 Clear lenses however, are.

Final Konnexion? Please paint the housings black (that is, if you buy JDM housings)!! USDM housings are all one piece and look a little odd with clear lenses imo.

I miss them:

Circuit sports sells clear lenses now, im ordering those. As far as the housings I agree 100% with you on the USDM ones looking funny with clear lenses. If i can find i decently priced set of JDM housings (everybody wants an arm and a leg now, ive had 2 sets previously and got each for $100.00), im going to go the poor man's route and just mask/paint my USDM ones. I have 2 sets of USDM ones so one will have the clear lenses and the other will be for inspection time (if i have issues passing non DOT lenses.)
