CF would look good in the '04+ headlights and taillights. 
We've all seen the chrome JDM housings, but no one has done the same in gold. I'd love to see gold headlights, taillights, grille, emblems, and interior trim on a GPW!!
I think black chrome would also look great. I saw a black chrome finish that had a rainbow reflection when the light was just right.

Thanks, Meth. I followed the thread and the car belongs to "gyrofx." I will contact him directly.
I'm not sold on the '04 taillights, but I definitely love them color-matched.

You might be right!

good input, i'm just trying ot be unique here. No one did the rear and fronts of the MY04s when i did it so I thought it would be something cool. I like it...and sometimes the black does look like a high quality piece. But, all in all, i'm satisfied with it for now. Nex time i'm doing a entire car custom coloring, i'll change those as well. Anyway, thanx for the input and i'll put pics of the front up too.

Here's pics from a member that did headlights and taillights ... Could be gryofx's car but this one has the '04 wing spoiler. I unfortunately lost the link to the original thread, but here's the pics:

Personally, I'd love to see someone who could leave the black, but replace the amber reflector in the tail lights with a clear reflector and then put in an amber bulb to keep it legal. I think it'd look pretty nice although I'm starting to learn to love the way the MY04 tail lights look even with the amber.
