New color scheme

okay so i used to have the headlights tinted, like so.




But then i decided to paint the grill. so here's what the front end looks like. now, these lower pictures ARE a photoshop of the above pictures. but when i tint the lights again. it will look just like these two pictures below.




Okay, so. i want to put some stock gloss black wheels on the car. so i had Topexx_SS do a quick photoshop of this picture.(current state of the car)


and do the lights and wheels. and so when i'm done it will look like this. with the lights, the grills, the bowtie, and the wheels. all black.



i think it's gonna look pretty bitchin' in person. oppinions?

you should just paint the headlight housing black instead of tinting em

That'll look good man but I would have to say the black housings look better than tinting the outside

looks good... I like the tinted look... you could get those covers that come on and off so you're not stuck w/ the tint...

and doesn't VHT have a redish tint to it..? Turned my reverse lights a reddish color in the sun...

and ALL black wheels would look better IMO...

I think it looks sweet! (Especially in person it'll look 100x better because I suck at photoshop )


Attempted to make the rims look better, and removed tint on the headlights in case someone wants to do the housings black (I tried and it looked awful)

Really like that blue body color, I like yours with the black grill, emblem, tinted headligts and tail lights pretty much everything blacked out, if you could do like a black chrome on the wheels or black
anodized, that would really pop.

I mean everything. Those tacky grilles were hard to look at. Your car looks 100% better!
