Default Pics Of Black Chrome Headlights?

Hey guys, I remember someone posted ONE pic of the 2003 GS headlights with black chrome in them. This is the only pic that I found on this board. Does anyone have any more pics of these headlights? If I am not mistaken, these are straight from factory and not modified in any way to make them black correct?

If I'm not mistaken, that picture is a photoshop of GlobeCLK's car. I recognize the side markers, grill and the Greddy lip (think the hood and lights are photoshopped on).

Manaray at one time was going to undertake making a black / black chrome headlight, but don't think it ever went anywhere. click here for the old thread

Default Blacked out lights

There's a guy up in Stamford, CT with an IS. He did it to his car (he works at a body shop)...said it was extremely difficult to do and probably wouldn't do it again.

Hey guys thanks for the responses. The responses you gave I know all too well about. It is a hassle to custom paint the headlights, BUT what I meant was there was another thread that I believe Lexus Of Manhatten wrote that the new 2003 SPORTDESIGN GS looks like it has BLACK CHROME headlights straight from the factory. It was only ONE thread that talked about this awhile ago but I can't seem to find it. In the thread it also discussed that it will come with a factory trunk lip to go with the sportdesign package. He gave us an actual picture of the 03 GS and the headlights sure do look like it has black chrome inside.

I thought I was imagining things but when I got my headlights replaced. the new ones looked like black chrome. It looks exaclty like the pics you have posted.
