sport headlight trade?

Mods, idk if you wanna move this to the classifieds, but i'm looking for anyone in the tampa/orlando, fl area to trade my sport GE8 headlights for the base headlights. I just got my fit this week, so they're in mint condition. I'd rather not deal with shipping, just meet up somewhere and do the swap. it'd be cool to hang out with a fellow freak as well. lmk if anyone's interested!

thanks! i might just open mine up and paint them, but i thought i'd offer anyone the chance for the sports that wanted them.

it was too dark last night to get a shot, but i will try to get one up asap.

I wanna do the same. I hate the chrome, but I don't want to paint them.

Just take the dive and paint them. I was in the same spot about 2 months ago and then one saturday morning I was like, "what the hell. Logged onto FitFreak, downloaded the bumper removal and DIY painting Headlights instructions and Sunday morning I had the lights resealed and back on the car. I love it and glad I decided just to suck it up and do it. I spent about 6 months though wondering and second guessing myself before I made up my mind.

Ya, I know it's not hard. I was just tryin to give a fellow fitfreak a chance to get some sport lights for free. It's easy for us to mod ours to base spec, a little harder for them to do the reverse. Thanks for the encouragement though!

Keep in mind the base headlights are more of a greyish than flat black like my headlights.
