Painted Surrounds, Smoked Reflectors and Rebadging

Installed some new Smoked Side Reflectors and did a little rebadging. Sorry for the pics...it was just about to storm... (Thanks Brian for the help b )





Couple extra pics here;

I took some other ones of my new headlight surrounds right before I installed the reflectors and badges;

I really like that look, but since I've already painted the surrounds I wouldnt want to damage what has been done. My next mod is the getting the Aero Kit installed.

Are those the smoked reflectors seen on ebay? I know people have been looking for the clear ones which seem to have disappeared from the face of the earth, but those smoked ones aren't all that dark and would probably be just fine for those wanting to get rid of the yellow and red. . .

Looks nice!

Thanks, I thought about that, but black just went better with the theme I've created

That's exactly what they are I was hoping for a little bit darker myself, but like them much better that the red and yellow.

Hello,

Now that you have a few months after doing the headlight trim. I was interested to know how are they holding up ???

If if anyone else has done this, or found another way to black out the rings

Thanks
