To paint or not to paint
Ive been thinkin about painting my headlight housing black on my 99 champaigne CL. Ive never seen a CL my color with the headlight housings painted though. what do u guys think about it, too dark for my color or should i just go for it?

you consider another color? search for "subtledreamer" he is a TL'er who did a silver housings on his heather mist TL.. looks good maybe something closer to champainge color could look good? Black always looks good in my opinion

I don't think you should. Champaign wouldn't go all the well with black.
Leave it as is.

I can't really get into it... I don't think it looks that great. It's OK mind you, but not great.
