mistertripps Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 The headlight trim on the R53 is different than the R55/R56 - The entire headlight has to come off the R53. I didn't want to deal with it. Actually, taping off the headlights and grille weren't that bad, it was the beltline that was a pain.

Jonshungry Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 It's actually a lot easier to get the rings off and paint them, than to mask. I've done both (resprayed them when I did my joey mod). And it looks a lot cleaner the second time around. It took me a while to figure out how to remove the headlights, but once you get that down, it's a much quicker process. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
