De-Chromed Ext

Smoked/color matched my headlights last week. I'm now fully de-chromed. At least on the outside lol. One of the nice touches I really like about the stock 3G design, is the black belt moldings and window trim.

Great job on the headlights. It's too dark for my taste, I would leave the turn signal area chrome to make it balance with the chrome on the fog housing. Did you paint the silver piece below the "A" on the trunk?

Yeah, the deck lid bezel is smoked, the trim piece and emblem are gloss black like the front grille.

Wheels, headlights, grille, matches the color of the car VERY well.
But still, get rid of the stockers!

Did you just tint the turn signals? Seems like a good idea, i think it looks really wierd without the diffuser...

Nevar!! I'm one of the few who like the oe rims. I would love some RJ Inspyres but man, thats a lot of money when add up wheels, good tires, mounting/balancing.

Yep, just tinted/smoked with tinted base/clear.
