[BrickLove]

Brings the front end together.

[Tanglefoot]

Much better with the black.

I was debating this as well. I just hate to paint over them when they look brand new still.

[Tamnakz]

Yes, looks amazing.

[shellshock]

black is the sex. Doooo it

[mikes02ls1]

Go black I did it and I wouldn't go back...lol

[CountOfNowhere]

I think it looks better unpainted, but I know I'm in the minority of turbobrickers

[fattmatt805]

black ftw

[Hoop]

Either chrome or paint-matched but not black. You could achieve the same effect by just taking them off.

taking them off would look like ass.

i think you should paint them black. that'd look awesome.

i agree with you. it's too much contrast.

[Jordan]

Don't paint it. Makes it look like a racoon.

[adrianpike]

Looks like your car wound up on the wrong side of a fistfight - don't do it.

[Brickster151]

Hahahaha that is what I always think of silver/grayish cars with blacked out surrounds

[dieselboy]

where do you getthe clears frommmm

[manbeard]

where do you getthe clears frommmm

by popping off the corner and taking the orange reflector out and glueing the lens back on. thats what i did...

edit....the glue i had turned yellow after about a month after i glued the parts back together. i'm sure if you use plastic epoxy it'll stay clear.

[badvlvo]

240 FTW.



I like the black. Just oround the lights, not the whole piece. Too much black with all the other chrome on the car is disproportionate in my eyes.

When are you going to chop the springs on that thing?

[Freq]

Only paint it black if you smoke the clears.

[Hoop]

taking them off would look like ass. Exactly, which is why I suggested not painting them.

[bullitt210]

Paint them black and lose the chrome on the rest of the car, too. If it is all blacked out, it will make a much more bold statement.... The wheel trim has got to go, yo....

[b4_ford]

Stop worrying about trim and lower it.

I did it, and it made all the difference.

[Mr.Borrie]

i like the black trim

[jungledorifuto]

lose the chrome trim all over the car and black the front end out.. until then, i wouldn't do it

[turbowagoneer940]
