I want to paint mine so bad, but I also like the chrome a lot too.

Don't do it. Black housing looks "home made." Chrome housing looks 10 times better. With classy body kit like Auto Couture, black housing takes away from it. AC + Clear lense + Chrome housing = WIN!




Looks are subjective. It's you're opinion that counts. Remember that.

I'm doing black housing on mine. I've always found chrome distasteful.

I love how you left the projector post unpainted. I did my housings a little while back when I wrapped my car and and soon as I started spraying, I knew I wanted to leave the posts untouched. Did you just mask and spray? Also, what's the info with your fogs?

Black housings can look good if you do them right:

The housings were painted by the previous owner. I'm sure he used painter's tape to mask off the areas that were not to be painted.

Yea those black headlights are sweet.

It would look good but you would have to do something with the high beams too or they will stand out too much. like a delete or smoke. But then youll be rocken the murdered out look. Either way looks good.
