Looks good. I would have left the tip of the projector chrome for some contrast, but still, I like what you're doing.

Makes it look like a cheap eBay headlight. I would have rather blacked out the chrome bezel on the headlight rather then the housing itself.

Not my cup of tea either. But, I have to hand it to the mold of the product. Looks great itself.

Seems like we suggested the opposite of each other. I don't know man, I think it would look "cheaper" blacking out the bezel as opposed to blacking out the housing and leaving the bezel chrome. I guess it it is just a matter of opinion.

well its no surprise that not everyone is so fond of what i do to my car.. but figured that i would share this for those that are interested on what it would look like.. it looked a bit plain with the headlight being chrome but i think glossy black would make it look completely different and good.. its just to go with my theme of being blacked out so we shall see how it turns out when everything is put in place..

Wouldnt it be easier to put on a piece of 3M shield for the lense. You can get the smole color and have protection from rocks too.
