Should I Black Out My Headlights?

It actually would not be black but would be like the shiney glossy gunmetal that the old G35s have. Really torn if I want to do it or not. Here's a photo of my car... yay or nay?

Re: Should I Black Out My Headlights?

First off, cool pics.

I'd say go for it. It would flow with the tint, window visors, and mirrors if they were "blacked out," and would match with the rest of your car is you "old g35'd" them out. The headlights actually stick out now, and need to be painted.

Thats my opinion anyways.

Your car looks real good already. I think blacking out the headlights would be a good next step. The gunmetal would look good. Are you talking like the JDM gunmetal lights from PasswordJDM.com??

blacking out the headlinghts would look nice especially on a your ride. but beware of things like smoking your rear lights or anything like that cuz i got a ticket 2 months ago on my street for that.

I like the blacked out headlights on 01 -02 not really on the 03 -05...

But typically it does look better

Wow, that's pretty nice. I was thinking something like that. That's actually what my bulbs look like now... yellow highs and blue lows with amber signals. Also, a question about those city lights. I was planning to do that to mine but have it be in the high beam housing... some drilling/siliconing would have to be done though... thoughts?

Re: Should I Black Out My Headlights?

I think it is just the angle of the ground, and the shot. But it does look cool. Kinda like an autocross pic.
