Can't say I'm a fan of the "blacking out" fad, but best of luck with the project.

Might be worth investing in an all-black license plate that MyPlates has to offer, too.

I don't normally like blacked out headlights either but that second pic is making me a believer... Good luck with the rest of the project. Looking forward to seeing it finished

If you black every single thing out this thing is going to look like a slab. But, you've gone so far you can't really turn back now.

I mean...the car looks to be in good shape - but doing it ALL in black just won't end well, IMO.

Take it from someone with a black/black car with (mostly) black wheels
