Despite not having any gears to drive with, I decided to paint the spare set of lights I bought awhile back. The orange bits have been removed and the light is one of those fancy ones that is silver on the outside, but lights up orange.
I used a black metallic paint which had a hint of anthracite in it. My quest for anti-bling continues. I did install these but I havent taken pics of the car yet so here is a photoshopped pic with the Hella Black Magic's I hope to get on the car soon as well:
Eventually the front plate will go again (I got a ticket for no front plate awhile back). And yes, I know there are a couple rocks in the air dam, lol...

The headlights are a definite improvement over the stock appearance. I've been wanting to do the headlight mod to my car, but I just haven't found the time to do so. Maybe someone would be interested in trading me a pair of painted headlight for my stock headlights + cash.

Sweet area man.
