For those of you that do not know, here is a pic of my front cap ...

Notice the black eyes ? Those are my ichiko headlights. In the end the bulb set up will be HID low beams and 3K hid's for the high beams. Regardless I need advice on the headlight bezels themselves. They are black because I cannot decide how to paint them. Obviously I am open to all suggestions.

The cars colors are Mazdaspeed orange (which has gold pearl)
and cadillac White Gold, which also has gold pearl. I also use the Scion Blue and Green from the release editions and a blue/green Chameleon. The truck is themed UM/UF So I am open to any color combo, I even considered leaving them black and using orange/blue & orang/green vinyl on the sides of the housings for the corresponding teams ... Either way let me know ...

Thanks

Ivan

For some reason Ive kinda liked the black. Kinda like the football players have under thier eyes.

Interesting perspective and deep down insie maybe thats why I have never had them painted .... No harm in leaving them black ....

But if you want paint on there, use Black Sand Pearl.

If you paint them, I'd go with the same color as your grill...I think it ties the front together. Otherwise, I'd leave 'em black. Just my $.02.

im tellin ya bro, pink is in this year... :rofl:

do them chameleon this way you can play off that they are about even with the chameleon on the seats... and then circle each light fixture opening (like 1/2") with the envy/blitz on each side... but then again im asking you to pretty much do pinstripes on it, Chip....
