Default Anyone ever painted their Headlight Bezel

So one of my friends works at a body shop and he said he could paint my Headlight bezel to match my cars color... just wondering what it would look like. Anyone seen this done before? I'm sure it has been done. Just wanna see what it would look like... let me clarify also that it would be painted the GGP color same as my car.

Wouldn't it be similar to the '03 Sport Design headlights? The gunmetal ones?

The some Honda Fit's have actual body color matched bezels from the factory. There is a blue one in my neighborhood, and a red one just down the road. See them all the time, it actually looks pretty good.

Hard to see but In this pic it isnt a total match. I was trying to match the body color to the headlight bezel. I still wish i had the SD headlights tho... They are bad ***

That's not a good example of the Sport Design headlights.

i think it would work well on a GGP GS or darker color GS's in general..

i've seen it done on Supra's and SC's though and it doesn't look great on those cars IMO..



really just depends on the car, C6 vettes and Fits have it and looks cool..
