Looks awsome in my opinion. I always love the little mods that give your car its own identity!

That looks really good! I doubt it would look good on black though.

I would have to go against what everyone else is saying and say it doesnt look good. It really looks like you spray painted that thing. Doesnt look like it was oem at all
