    Soo... do it and don't use an exacto knife in the process. I didn't use any cutting tools when I did mine.

    If you have projectors then Im assuming you dont need the chrome reflector bowl? I got a pair from the retrofitsource.com and it would be sweet to paint the bowls black.

    You are not blacking out the reflectors, only the plastic frame surrounding the reflectors.

    Just make sure you mask off the reflectors behind the turn signal and corner lights and you're legal.

    The headlight reflector stays with the back half of the housing when you take it apart, but the turn signal reflector (and I think the side marker) are part of the front half.

    Thanks! She's a great woman and the S2000 was her idea. We bought it new but now she wants something else. The S2000 is soon to become my "toy". Can't wait!
