That looks very nice. I would do that if my car were an '02 or newer or had been retrofitted withthe newer headlights. Nice.
 
I think it looks great but i've heard from other people that this is not a small task and its pretty hard to make sure the headlight re-seals completly after its been painted so it doesnt leak and get condensation...

Also, i think the red example looks much better with the entire underbody of the lense being painted, whereas on the type-r example only a portion of it is color matched.

This is something i will defininatly consider for my own little project. I think it makes the front end flow together much nicer.
 
hmmm not sure if i like the red headlights all painted like that.....seems like there is not contrast and like theres too much red. But it might be better looking in person. Anyone have the red done like the type-r style?

Maybe try it NSX-R style but matte colored gunmetal or black instead of the chrome. Anyone has a better picture so i can try photochopping it?
