    Hey guys have not posted here for a while due to the sale of my 01 360, but just recently purchased a 99 55o which I love!!! Wanted to know wher u guys purchased most of your parts for the 550 and wondered if anyone has taken those headlights apart to repaint and restore. Mine are faded and dont want to spend 4K for a new set. Ill post some pics of the car as soon as I get some taken.
    TIA

    Congratulations on your new 550! Drive it in good health.

    Are you referring to the gray trim portion of the headlight assemblies? If that's the case, it's not faded. The trim is gray for all color 550s. The headlight trim in the 575s is body-colored.

    Thanks Barry!! I was actually refering to the inside of the light not the gray part, but since I will be taking them apart that may be a good idea to paint that part as well it may look good!

    Ah, but then you'll be painting the shark's nictitating membrane.
