Your car has to have headlights. Why not?

are u saying that because of the possibility of the lights getting oversprayed (if so, dont worry ill take them off before it goes off for paint)
Or because of the fact because its gonna look bad with primer and shinny new lights?

theyre just lights dude. lol. install them and enjoy the nice beam.

if theyre too shiny... more incentive to get the car painted faster

jdm head lights can mean two things. projectors or no projectors?
why not get the car painted with the bumper off, and then install them when you're putting it back on after paint?

If your car has no mecanical problem, I would say sell the lights, fix back window and paint the car. (Though, Idk if you back window is really damaged or if it's just a bit chipped or whatever...)

The car looks good without the jdm projectors, thought it's not as good looking without paint or with a broken glass. This way you should have the car painted and fixed and maybe have some money saved if something happens or to buy another pair of lights later.

well, mechanically its nothing major, little here and there.
as far as the back glass goes, its a convertible so the back glass is well, pretty much not there at all, but its not SO bad, i mostly drive it top down, and the water doesnt get in soo much when its raining, theres a drain plug rite under there, and back seat get barely wet.

I am with Limited GT4, it seems that he needs the money to fix the car. I would fix the window first because looking at the convertible you have no back window. For me thats more important than headlights, second I would paint the car. Sell the headlights and use the money for what is important.
