I'm with YOU brother. If it doesn't make you go faster or corner better it's JUNK in my books!

I am working with my paint guy now on this particular project. I have already run into the snag that he won't take the lights apart. I have to have my other lights guy do that first, send the items to be painted, and then back to the lights guy to get resealed. So far for unseal and seal is $100.00

When you get them done, let us know. I would be willing to send my lights out to whoever can handle the disassembly, reassembly and paint.

And to the guys who think it looks tacky, you can have your opinion........so there is no reason to even post in this thread.

My guy is buying a set of porsche headlights and is going to do it before he works on a customers porsche. He has done my infiniti, but has never done a porsche and just wants to confirm nothing is different in the process.

I think that it is a great idea, and very caring on part of the shop owner. I'll keep you posted.

I am going to call the evodave guy today and talk to him about it. I would be the test dummy from him, if he is willing to do everything....take apart, paint, and reseal.
