Now that looks good. I'm no fan of painting headlights but that looks good. I don't like it when the whole thing is painted, looks cheap.

Honestly, i think it looks pretty good. Plus, it complements the darker grill that you have up front compared to the rest of the car.
But if you don't like it and it's bugging you, you gotta do what ya gotta do.

It works well with what you got going on with the rest of the car. i like it! im a big fan of blacked out rides.
its something i would consider if i didnt have a tungsten pearl whip. Good job!
