PAINTED BLACK EYES T/A OR FIREBIRD

Well i was lookin at this T/A of Zepher and i guess it look cool to paint the section of the nose near the sidemarker to match the closed headlight but specially with Blackouts on the front Sidemarkers..i guess coming on a highway a little far the car will look more like a Camaro face ...look cool what you think ? It look cooler on clear cars

Sammy, do you mean like camaros have black in the headlight notches? That looks good if you accent other stuff in black, yes. Otherwise, nah.

I've been thinking of a similar idea to that but I was thinking of painting the black plastic thing around my headlight and turnsignal the same color of my car. I remembered seeing some car, maybe it was a ferrari that the headlight thingy was factory paint matched. I loved the look and I've thought about doing it for a long time. I did a photoshop of a side view with and without it painted. Tell me whatcha think. Should I do it?

I personally dont like the idea of paint it of the same color ...abd for the guy who didnt understood what i tried to say is paint the nose black ..but only the part near the front sidemarker and the closed headlight just like the pic i posted.

sammy why not just buy GTS's turn signal blackouts? Easier, cheaper, and if you don't like it just remove them.
