How many of you would black out your headlights?

I think if I was still 16, it might seem like a cool idea. But I'm not 16 anymore. It seems tacky, now. If Lexus had designed it that way, that'd be one thing. But it's not, so I think it looks better as-is.

He means painting the chrome, not applying smoked-out film.
