    I was tired of looking at my painted grille so I decided to take it apart and paint it black. After finishing it, I noticed it made the lowers look like dookie, so I popped those out and painted those too. I know they're fairly inexpensive, but I love the feeling of doing the work myself. Now the headlights look ****ty

    Anyway, enjoy. Comments and suggestions welcome. Other then putting a big wing on and letting it catch fire.

    I can honestly say, those are the most horrible looking headlights I've ever seen.

    Grills look good though.

    And x2 on the textured rubs.

    LB's ftw!

    Haha door handles are off already and I'm working on blacking them and the mirrors out. And yeas, the mirrors are beyond having a haze. They look worse since I washed it yesterday. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Yeah man. The Mustang has sucked up every extra but of cash I've had over the years and I've neglected my dub for a while. I've learne the error I've my ways though. I'm back in Dub country.

    Looks good, you don't need new headlights though, just restore these. Google it, there are tons of guides

    If you're thinking of doing a ZKW projector retrofit, you're on heroin. If you're thinking of bolting BMW lights up to where your GTI lights sit now, you're on poor quality heroin.
