Gloss black.
Some of the pics turned out horrible because of the sunlight directly on them and the glare...but you get the idea...




and the underhood shot. valve cover now even seals with the correct gasket!

um. i went and for some clear adhesive chaulking from home depot and just put them back together.
i used a 750F heatgun i got for 25$ to evenly heat one small 3inch strip of the seam and just work my way around the lightly VERY slowly...evenly heat the area tho....take your time. it took me about 30-45 min per light to split them safely.

Actually, they'd look like this.....
http://www.focusfanatics.com/gallery...821krc_030.jpg http://www.focusfanatics.com/gallery...821krc_013.jpg I dont know if I like them as much as the black on red idea. It kinda makes it look like an Alien! -Matt p.s. no those pics are not my car Mod: Do not imbed images of another car in a member's Rigz thread.

They look alright on that car because the center hood section and roof are black, black headlights would mess with that line. On Stolles car its all red, I thought it would look washed out with red headlights and maybe that is what he was thinking too.

Yea, it just kind of reminds me of a red focus with painted red hella's. To much red imo. I like the black myself!
![]() But the painted red mach's on that car dont look half bad either. Def. better than having painted red hella's. -Matt p.s. sorry if that came across as mean/rude

Now that I have voluntarily rescinded my moderator privileges I may speak freely as a regular member of [FJ]...
I strongly object to this thread's title sticking out into the main forum index or anywhere here for that matter. I think it a really dumb thing to type onto an internet message board forum thread title box. Too late now; we all look the worse for it in whatever way. I could care less if it's simply about a car part. It's a retarded thing to do. I have never used the below--posted emoticon until now. That's my 2¢ worth.
