thx. for the first site the closest color they have to amber is gold metallic. sucks they dont have pics of every color on the car. outrageous orange might work too. might just try the spray. how did it turn out?

I have considered this, but I'm not sure how it will look with my black headlights, I'm waiting to see what your corners turn out like to decide on painting my own.

yeah i was thinking of doing the same thing...amber over the blacked out corners and maybe a coat of smoke colored paint. i wasnt sure how the amber would look on my car either im just taking a gamble..if it looks ugly then ill just take them off and buy some blacked out headlights/corners.

That paint looks pretty good. I don't prefer that mod myself, but sure enough if you put enough yellow on, you get orange.

The only problem I see is because it is on the outside, I bet it comes off with the first bug strike. Those can paints just don't stick well, I think.

Keep us posted.

Got my own variation of this mod on the way; experimental, and I can only cross my fingers that it'll look right w/out black headlights.
