I Want to Buy/Trade Your Baked/Painted Headlights

[2008_CrewMax]

I thought maybe this was worth a try.

I am interested in getting the painted headlights for my tundra, just dont feel like going through the hassle and the misterious "baking the headlights".

So if any of you guys that have done this mod feel like making an extra buck, id like to trade you my stock headlights for your painted plus some $$.

Im not sure what amount of $$ is fair considering your time and materials, so just let me know.

My tundra is not my daily driver, so i have no problem shipping them out and you sending yours once you receive mine.

PM me or post if this is something someone would like to do

I have done it to other cars that I have owned. Think it would be too much black to do on my truck?

after doing mine, i regretted it. some days i like it, some days i dont. it has to do with the angle of light hitting the car. let me try to explain. in this picture, i hate how it looks:

but in this picture, i think it looks sick :




i may sound crazy, but i dont know how else to explain it.

Ya its a toss up, The chromer I use for work said he had a black bumper he would trade me for my chrome one, I may do that then see how I like it.

so you like how it looks when its shiney

not dull

but you painted it with flat black?

interesting


haha

[4x4Balls]

its not flat paint, its shiny.

[2008_CrewMax]

weird!

idk then

i saw a picture of it on a white truck for once and i loved it.

could have been a pic of the "good angle" though

[4x4Balls]

no it definitely looks good on white. red also. black/w black kind of looks rice rockety.

4x4 i actually like the first picture instead of the second just my 2 cents

How do you do this I would like to try this on my 02 Tundra?

[TampaTundra]

Im on the fence about getting some for mine, I think it would work well with the chrome bumper and chrome grill-frame thing. But sadly mines a lease so I would have to buy another set to swap back at the end.

[4x4Balls]

i think i figured it out. i like how the lights look when im looking up at them from a lower angle. solution? time to lift!

i would love to do this to mine but im scared of taking my headlights apart lol
