Blacked out headlights - 5.5 gen

Did my friends headlights and grille a few weeks ago... now his car is all blacked out. Headlights look gorgeous in day light, and grille came out better than I thought it would.

If any of you guys want me to black out your headlights, PM me.

i think some VHT night shades on the side markers would set it off even more. spacers agreed

holy crap i thought my +46 offset was high....

the car looks VERY VERY good though, not counting the wheels.

Do you have tint on your windshield?

Lights look immaculate; need to tint the emblems and the chrome window trim...I bet a few coats of Niteshades would make a really nice black chrome look.

I agree....nice job on the headlights. Not a big fan of all black rims though.

I also agree with tinting the sidemarkers and emblem and blacking out the trim.

too much black for me...raise the drop a lil and the rims gotta go...they are so dark the actual style is lost in the color...maybe some chrome with blakc inlay or powder coat. A spoiler would be nice to.

This isnt my car, its my friends. Rims are going to get changed in a few months as soon as the kid gets money. Everything else will be blacked out (door handles, window trim, etc.)

The taillights will be re-done also...
