I'd probably go with gloss black. I've used the fusion paint a lot, and the first coat does mimick tint quite well when sprayed on light colored surfaces, but the paint would act differently than tint, I think, worst case scenario you sand it off and buff the lens, or a quick scrub with lacquer thinner and a rag. A thin coat of paint might not be all that durable though, maybe clear coat on top?

To post pics you need to "host" them at an online server, photobucket.com is free and works well, you can have a many different files and folders as you like for pics of different interests you have. once you have an account there you click the "upload images" button, once they are uploaded the images will show up as "thumbnails" (Small versions of the pic) and under that will be a few options, you want the bottom one then right click and copy it, then paste that into your post here, done. Post up if you need any clarification

Hello! I'm new to the board here and have found some good information, but still have a couple of questions that I'm hoping someone knows the answer too. Lately MPGs have been down quite a bit, around town here I got 21 MPG last tank 29 on the highway. we've had the car since 95' and it has never really gotten less than 28 MPG, mid 30s on the highway. The car has a fairly new O2 sensor, the coolant temp sensor seems fine (it starts fine in the cold (well below zero F), according to the subaru mechanic here when the temp sensor fails the car will have cold start issues.) I can certainly check the resistance of it too to make sure its ok. I found a link to the factory service manual in this post which I downloaded. I see that there are 3 ways to check codes, the best/most informative being the "read memory", how do I engage that? I recall something about connecting a couple of wires/plugs under the hood, is that right? Or is that just for the U-check that doesn't provide as much info? The CEL, fwiw, only comes on when running at close to WOT for longer periods of time, like up hills on the interstate, I NEVER see it around town or on the highway at less than 70 MPH. I have a hunch that the MAF is going south, and the manual I downloaded had a good step by step to check it which I will do when I check the coolant temp sensor. Any advice would be appreciated Thanks!
