chrome headlight bezzelss
Over the summer I spray'ed my healight bezzels black so they wouldnt look all faded and junky. I was wondering though if anyone has ever chromed them? I think it might look kind of cool.
Your thoughts?
Your thoughts?

There was a "magazine car" way back in the late 80's early 90's that had chrome headlight bezzelss, It was a yellow "pro street" car owned by one of the major manufactures I forgot who? But it looked really awsome and I wouldn't mind doing it to my car, but I think I'd have to change from the late model plastic bezzel to a earlier model metal bezzel. I say go for it..

You could probably try that "chrome" spray paint just to preview it. But I would stay with the black because it blends in more. And sometimes no news, is good news.

I got mine from the boneyard. I took them off a mid-80's olds and took them home and cleaned them up and they look really nice. It's a small detail but it's those that make the difference.

I think that vert above would look a million times better with 91-92 GFX and an inch drop then it would be a show stopper. Right now it looks kinda jacked up and retro with that (IMHO) hideouse front GFX. I hate the litttle holes. But obviousely there is a ton of great work put into that car. Great job.

Looks great. Is that POR-15 on the axle. I used POR on mine. I still am waiting for my brake lines in the mail. Also deciding on brakes now?
LS1 or those C5s......You think the C5 stuff is worth it? or is LS1 fine?
