3G NBP customized

Okay, so i want some feedback from you guys. i did the whole black housing/clearing headlight thing which was a pain in the @$$, but well worth the time spent. and i also painted the grill. should i leave that hood piece silver? or should i finish the job and paint it black? any input would be much appreciated. thanks!

**since i can't figure out how to post the picture on here, please go to my xanga site for the pic**

Very nice.

Question on the grill - why didn't you paint the chrome portion on the hood too? Personally, I think it stands out too much though.

Love the headlights. If I didn't clear them already, I would consider the blackout.

you should paint the top part to match, AND the matching part on the rear as well.

If you like the way how you did your grill keep it that way, don't let nobody change your mind....it's called being creative. You did something different from the others and some members haven't done s!?@ and still discourage members from expressing creative thoughts. That s!@? is hot!!!.....keep on being creative.

oh wow...lots of input...haahah thanks you guys for your input. yea, i was kinda leaning more towards painting the top too. the reason why it's still silver is because honestly....i ran out of paint! hahaaha...but yea, i'm most likely gonna paint it today. thanks again!

yea man, i totally agree with that! being creative is being different. but yea i honestly was going to paint the top part too, it's just i ran out of paint and didn't feel like getting another can of paint for that small piece...

In response to your comment on my xanga (which i rarely use, as you can see by the date of the last post haha):

My headlights took about....i'd say 6 hours spread over 2 days. I did it meticulously b/c I'm a perfectionist (although most of the times what i do doesn't come out the way i want it to hahah). But yeah....i did everything carefully so as not the break anything, but the results turned out amazingly.

Again, the car is lookin' good, but the top silver trim needs to be painted.
