Let's see what this is gonna cost

I would assume panel shop to do the work as they're the experts at pulling cars apart and putting them back together, just need to find a good one! Again Panel shop for painting/powdercoating the wheels, not sure about NSW but there's a great wheel repair/painting specialist in WA that did my Mazda wheels gloss black.

Though looked at the site and the $620 is for Bumpers and doors! add another $2K for the windows, cost you significantly less to get them painted by a panel shop!

I thought they looked a-ok on tmtuning ...

They're on sale, so I might just have to get em in and see how they look first hand.

I don't know about these.
Kinda makes it look tired and droopy.

If anything i would just crack open the headlight casing and paint it black too (Joey Mod)
Then re-seal it back up and you will have a different/menacing look while still retaining the agressive style of the original headlights.
